[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

save your efforts mate you will prob lose them i think late breds are only gd for stock pigeons imo

[Guest LBuddle]

we always treat them as the following years youngsters, ie 2010 babys with 2009 rings on!!

I personally wouldn't train them untill there is Green on the trees next year!

Ditto

 

Our 2007 latebreds were trained in 2008 with the old and young birds and had 2 races as trainers with the young birds in 2008

 

They had the full old bird inland programme - except for the first combine race, and they had the last channel race (a stinker!!)

 

we still have them both

[ritchie1]

thanks for all your imput will have a think about it i only took them up for stock but got plenty of stock now so will have a think about it might just wait until next year there ok just now flying round the loft

I would agree with L.Buddle..

 

They'll still be moulting, let them be and train them up when the weathers good in the summer

[Guest]

what would you say was the minimum amount of training needed before keeping them in over the winter??                        andy.

basically how many times is my question Bakes mate ? i would personally like them trained out to 50 miles ,but thats not an option , have had yearling hens have upto 4 tosses at 4miles (this was a journey to the supermarket) they came well from channel races up to 450 miles.                   andy.

 

 

[ritchie1]

none of my birds get trained over 25 miles thats what they get 25 miles is far enough for any bird

[Guest bakes]

30 tosses in total andy 5 tosses at each place

 

all the best

I've a few latebreds myself this year, still untrained. Would only be able to train  at weekends, but between short daylight hours, weather & moult, don't see sense in trying that, and frankly, weekends at this time of year are for other jobs around house garden & loft.

 

So will wait till April / May next year, more or less treat them as youngsters and race them out to say 233 / 257 miles as yearlings. I've a few that I did that with this year, dropped some, but the 3 left I expect to go 500+ miles next year.

I am agreat beleiver in late breds, i do not train them in their birth year,example 09 l/breds will be trained and treated as part of my old bird team i expect them to race from 60 mls to the last inland race approx 321/360mls then keep the ones that are left.i can assure you if there good enough they can and will do it ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU CAN NOT BREED LATE BREDS FROM THE BIRDS YOU HAVE LOST IN THE EARLIER RACES this is my system,and sometimes it works cheers
