Hi all

 

Has any one tried ROUNABOUT the other way around?

What i try to say is that the hens are in the loft with the nest boxes and the cocks in the loft without the nest boxes?

GIVE ME HENS ANYTIME  

 

Dont agree :P  but they are brilliant ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[budgie]

The worst thing you can do is let the Hens back into the Nestbox Section during the Week.They go of the Boil and only let them into the section with the Cocks 1hr before basketing for the race.

who told you this bugie? i let my hens trap back to the nest box section 9 years running and was one of the top 2 best flyers in my club of 29 members.....

one problem with roundabout is you have to keep to a stricked rutein each day you could get a away doing windowhood or natural but not with roundabout good syatem if you have got the space and the time on your hands thats why theres not many flyers raceing roundabout now i no of 3 local flyers that would not race any other system other than rounabout mostly all race both cocks and hen but mostley look at the hens for the water races always on chipping eggs or if raceing the cocks back to eggs or a big youngster
