Hi All

Widowhood Systems

Which would you say is the best way to go about it

i have been trying it this season and appear to be struggling now this might be due to

me not knowing what i am meant to be doing ( I think so )

 

Where can i get a good system written down to follow

 

HELP NEEDED

I don't fly widowhood but I do seperate the birds for the first few races to delay the moult.

I have found when I do this they don't perform at all till they are remated.

What I am actually saying is that you may be like me. The birds are celibate, they are in great condition but they have no motivation.

hi m8.. i also try this and on my part it is effective... but again base on my experienced... widowhood is only good for short to middle distance race. becuase of too much motivation the cock or hen lost its concentration and condition. that's why it does not perform in at all in long distance race.

i think it depends on the distance you want to try for,, i,e for distances up to 300 miles i would pair up end of jan, let them rear either one yb or two , after they have sat 8 days [no longer , as they will cast flights] then put them on w,hood [keep the hens as far away as poss] this would roughly bring you till the end of march, at this stage i would fly them every morning and every evening at exactly the same time , after a while they should be flying up to an hour [if untrained at this time]personally i would rather see them doing this than risk training them in cold weather , which can finish them for the year, i believe the racing is far to early and ruins many a yearling , i would much rather train a few odds and ends ,just for the first few races , then finish these for the year ,,,,then , if you can manage to get some decent days , just a few tosses should suffice for the races starting in may for your w,hood cocks , this way they will last the season and be better off for it, in the future [ive scored with 2 year olds in june at 500 miles with this system ] but im sure you will learn by all the info on" basics" on this system ,,looking through the back pages, as they say   there are many ways to skin a cat ,,,,,,,,choose your preferred system and stick to it , without any chopping and changing , and you will win   i certainly hope so anyway,,best of luck
