neila Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Going to start my first round off next week They don’t seem to have roamed as good as other years only 20 mins but seemto fly around home more apart from one day when they went for 2 hours I know a fair few that are already at 25 miles with youngsters 4 weeks before the first race is enough for me as when I start I like to go often What’s everyone else doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex young Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Mine have had 4x5mls and 2x10mls tosses, taking it easy with them and will not be racing them just plenty of training to 30mls.I'm virtually starting again after giving my old birds away and just keeping some younger pigeons that didn't race as youngsters but raced to the coast this year and made the Fed. sheet.

Wiley Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I’ve had 3 tosses with the young birds, 2 tosses north and 1 south. Looks like it might be back to the north, cos I can’t see channel racing much in the future, but live in hope I’ll race them both routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ll be also getting some sprinters of a good friend to race too who had my best breeders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
