remember the old adage

 

when the wind is in the east, its neither good to man nor beast

 

the birds have a long rd in front of them,, my advice or my opinion,, is not to train this early,,, IF the birds are to last and win,  later in the season,,,,,,,, patience is the game

[bombersbullets]

might take them the first 10mile tomorrow depends on the weather

yes its been   unusually warmer of late, in fact temps to rise wed,, but i am only advising to be very wary ,,  

 

a couple of  bad/hard  toss can ruin yearlings for the year,, i find yearlings come into their best in the month of may,,many are lost b4 this,, but as they say,, make hay while the sunshines ,,, lets just hope it continues

[Guest bakes]

have had a few tosses thats it waiting for weather to warm up abit more lads around my way are sending everyday see them coming over another two big groups came over this morning while i had my birds up.

 

all the best.

With only having yearlings it will be about another 3 weeks before mine see the basket and then only if the weather is good , once they have been trained I will put them in the midweek for a few short races before deciding on a longer term race plan for the year , they may just race the midweek program and start the hard work next year when I will hopefully have a larger team  

[OLDYELLOW]

think mine have seen out side loft 3 times so far never mind a basket

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Personally i think its madness training just now... far far too early..

 

Be interesting to see where all the doos getting trained just now are in june/july.. JMO

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Each to there own but early training not for me.Jimmy goyt it spot on as usual.

[ALF]

Not had the doos oot fae september weekend last year

[doomanbev]

Basket training thats all im doing ,to many bop wate till things calm down give birds a chance ,hen sparrow sitting on next doors  wall ,it was like humpty dumpty  

[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

going to start training ten hens up in the young bird loft then they can have the first races before i bring my widowhood cocks out in may but with the warm wind now and nice days its getting very tempting to start training

[Guest mick bowler]

Same here!

 

 

[Craig05]

Have the late breds from last year (August bred) up to 35 miles now.  plan to race them the 1st 5 or 6 races this season starting on the 4th April and then may send them to a couple of shorter races later in the season.  coming well so far, started with 23, lost 2 in training and one hit something.  20 left but like i say, very keen and im struggling to beat them home at the moment
