Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 if your not wanting y/bs off them slip them pot eggs or boil thier own eggs but watch your hens for being eggy check thier vents before sending to a race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 if your not wanting y/bs off them slip them pot eggs or boil thier own eggs but watch your hens for being eggy check thier vents before sending to a race also watch for yearling cocks driving as they can go over the top and you could lose them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Also if you have a yearling team like mine watch out for the cold east winds early in the season dont throw them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I use to keep mine together all the year round. Advantage was more settled lofts. Never had eggs before End of March. Disadvantage is if and when you wish to change partners. Better for open lofts and distances because they are more content and settled.

Roland Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yes after a round, slipping Pot eggs and race dry is good. Also if able just slipping a new born youngster into a nest, if not eggs etc. This works great, and especially for the cock birds. Hens I feel are better and more genuine on hard and / or distance races. Hence, thoiugh both benefit, and hen sitting tight around the 14 days has proved to be a time. Yes yearling cocks driving either win.... or you don't see them. Why? who really knows, it just happens that way it seems. Old cocks driving on a big youngster is their time of course to shine.
