Ronnie Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 What in peoples opinion is the best way to send natural cocks on the water race's. also would you send a cock that has done a full wing moult. just thinking about send a few cocks to saintes with national in a few weeks and wanted peoples view's the cocks have been on widowhood all year and are paired now .
OLDYELLOW Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 have one cock flown on natural thats got 3 x 3rds from 358 miles , 414 miles , 524 miles , i believe they fly better on widowhood which is how i normaly fly i thought id fly natural for a year wont be next season
Ronnie Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Posted July 5, 2009 I was thinking of sending my best cock he took another 1st club 4th fed 3 weeks ago from fourgeres but i paired him this week for niort next week(he allways comes good chasing for egg's) after looking at his flights ive decided not to send him niort and keep him for saintes.but was gonna leave him paired so he will be sitting egg's just about to chipout. ive never raced birds on eggs before and wanted to know if they come well.i suppose its down to each bird
OLDYELLOW Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 i find on natural that birds fly better when there feeding ybs solid food not milk as it sours the crop just my opinion
peterpau Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 I pair when most have weaned and they didn't race till June. I wouldn't dream of having youngsters in the pen eggs or driving for a cock for me. My whole team will be going to Bordeaux on the 1st of August on eggs but I'm only sending 1 cock and 7 hens tiz my whole team.
Ronnie Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Posted July 5, 2009 thanks peter as usual the advice is well taken.
Guest HighSpeedLofts Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Iv been told natural is the best for national racing as the late great jock trail from fife proved
