Hello all, New Forum Member here!!. I am also a 100% Distance racer (500miles plus). We never send our yearlings past Bergerac 435miles actually most finnish at Poiters 317miles. Whwn they are 2yr old they then go to the NFC and BICC long ones, actually we had a 2yr old fly BICC Barcelona and BICC Perpignan this year he did noting special from these two but it has put him in good stead for going back next year, Also had two 2yr old hens in the result from BICC tarbes this year too.

i used to stop my yearlings at 300mls but if they are any good they should all do 450mls no problems if not they are unlikly to do 500/600 mls but i do agree that some familys do take longer to muture my van eidens are like that they need another year but did get 2 yearling van eidens from arras 487mls this year

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

 

read the book George - you'll have a good nights sleep (sleeping)(sleeping)(sleeping)

 

I'm not hi-jacking the thread - I just seem to have differing views from the rest of you (like - all of you (evil) )

 

[Guest cloudview]

this is how i look at it

youngsters are   kids

yearling s are teenagers

two year old,s are adult ,

yearlings can and do some magnificent perfofmances, usually because they dont know any better, theyre headstrong and just keep going ,youth on their side .

another thing to remember when asked , what distance will they do , its not the distance its the time on wing , a 500 mile race can be flown in 10 hours , on asteady day

ask the same bird to do it , flying 14 hours plus on the day, nine times out of ten you wont see it, these are just some of my thoughts , and by the way  my best tarbes birds have never

done 500 on day even with wind up their backside . idid dispose of them in the early days

ive learny my lesson now

What are your differing views?

Young birds to do 250 + miles

Yearlings             350 + miles

Two year olds      500 + miles

Three year olds    600/770 miles

I have one four year old  ;D

 

I wan't to do well in races 300 - 600 miles. I have a young team of pigeons, 24 x YBs, 11 x yearlings, and 1 x 2 yo. Basically I changed-over to a set of standards (similar to those above) this year.

 

The only proviso I make is that the distance for each bird in each group totally depends on fitness and previous road-work. Our YB 250 miles race and OB 300 miles races are Nationals so its only the best pigeons that you choose for that; your management & planning must be spot-on to get your best pigeons spot-on for them. I can't say that I shone well in that department this year, lost 3 out of 4 2-yo, remaining one didn't get road work, and I missed all 500 mile races. But I still got 4 YBs and 3 yearlings to 3 of those Nationals, 250 - 399 miles, and timed-in in all 3. So I am still learning how to hit my own targets, next step is to get in the results.

well - if I had taken notice of the comments on here

I wouldn't have had a 2 year old who was 3rd club - 9th Fed 1887 birds (55 miles) 192nd combine 24,000 birds (260 miles) and 13th combine 19000 birds Lillers (317 miles) in 2007

 

he hadn't scored until then

 

a 3 year old who was 18th Fed Bourges 544 miles (who also hadn't scored until then) 2008

 

another 3 year old  2nd club 197th combine 445 miles - who also was the first time scoring  2008

 

a 3 year old - injured as a yearling and never raced  again until this year - was just outside the first 200 from 34,000 birds - she was 2nd club 8th fed 1872 birds (260 miles) it was also the first time she'd scored as well

 

another 2 year old hen first time scoring - 1st club 2nd fed 2107 birds (202 miles)

I could go on .......zzzzzzzzz (evil)

 

Half my loft are 3 - 5 years old

So how would things have changed????

because she is a good listener and has the patience ,to deal with the situation that some  men  might not have ,and possibly has the tools to work with as well .

[REDCHEQHEN]

Had I not had patience - and taken notice of the comments below

 

 

i consentrate on sprint, the birds get young bird racing and yearlings if not done anything then they dont progress in my race team, the aim is they have to score every season in the top 10 of the federation to stay here,

 

 

 

So called sprint/middle distance pigeons should make their mark in your team by the yearling stage, I don’t go along with the ‘give em’ till they're two years old ’

 

 

I wouldn't have had the birds in my loft would I?

 

And as Harry said

 

 

because she is a good listener and has the patience ,to deal with the situation that some  men  might not have ,and possibly has the tools to work with as well .

 

I have the patience of a saint (evil)

How would you know when you didn't follow that route, , a perfect saint obviously

[REDCHEQHEN]

Why would I follow a route I didn't feel the need to follow

 

I am a leader - not a follower

As I said you're perfect

 

[REDCHEQHEN]

No-body is perfect - not even me

but its getting off the subject of how long you give your pigeons

 

for me - I've always had enough room to keep them

I don't have loads of pigeons
