piggy Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 hi there, my young birds have been split from each other, so are flying as such to widowhood, nearly every body in the club fly's this way, am i making a mistake sending them training on the local transporter!and together? they trap ok and all come back within about 10mins of each other, next thing is how long should i show to each other before a race, and how long do they stay together after a race, cheers stu, had an excellent old bird season, but as for young birds im closer to the bottom than top!
speedbird Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 well done with the old birds i would say very little contact as possible i have a wire messed door which i pull across on race days which i put a metal bar behind traps to stop em getting into main part makes catching em quicker to clock you could do some simalar & when cocks come home first from training let them through into main loft then put metal bar in which will stop the hens having any contact at all just able for them to spin round at one another or do vise verser if cocks come home first just an idea works for me then on friday either send on a short toss no further than 5miles let them have full contact before race & see the results!! its probably too late in the season to learn them widowhood now so thats my suggestion hope this helps maybe next year do the same bit have them parted well before yb racing & train em this method but when they go training first of let them have contact before & after toss to get use to it
