Training/Feeding day before race.

[North road racer]

Does anybody train on the friday morning? What do you feed your widowhood cocks and how much at what time on a friday?

 

Thanks guys

Have trained, just 2 mls Friday afternoon back to the hens with good results (early in season).Feeding,gradual build up with plenty on Thursday evening, Friday am. 1oz in pots, then light feed of seeds late afternoon.

I would never train on a friday nor will they be seeing hens prior to marking this early in the season.

I never train Friday. I pull the shutters first thing and open again at 3.30pm. At 4.30pm i turn the bowls and hamper up at 5. NO HEAVY FEEDING. Handfull of conditioner

TRAIN N FRIDAYS BUT ONLY THE BIRDS THAT WONT BE AT THE RACES FOR ONE REASON OR OTHER

[Guest youngboy]

no i leave then out for a short fly about 30 mins is all if they need it

[blackdog]

pointless letting them out on friday as i spend all week building them up so wouldnt want them using all there energy up plus with them getting as much to eat on a thursday evening i probably not get them back in, friday morning they get as much as they will eat

[Tony C]

I will exercise them on a Friday if a holdover looks on the cards

 

Feed them the same time as they're always fed

 

Feed them a little at a time till they’ve had their fill

i dont let them out on frid and it shouldnt matter how much you feed them on a frid if you got the feeding right up to thur they wont eat much on a frid sometime have to feed different stuff to get them to eat so they will drink best is little hand fulls often so they drink more

   at this stage i would tend keep them in on a  friday,,,,,, but as season goes on, and the birds fitter, weather better,,  would excercise    frid morn early,, i found they rested better during the day ,

 

half  feed frid am,, other  half feed   mid day ,, to try and get them to drink
