basketing roundabout pigeons

[aye ready]

how do the general fancy basket their birds on marking night,i used to do them both at the same time but after altering the loft this isn't so easy now,so i'm thinking about basketing the cock first then going back for the hen,any ideas (ok)

I never like sending both birds from same pair and stopped doing it. But before i didnt then first couple races i'd basket the cocks and let the hens in then after couple of mins take cocks out then basket hens.

 

The later races they both went straight in basket without seeing each other.

i agree , not sure how many hard 250-500 races a bird will give its all for if it keeps beating its partner home
