Guest bakes Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 peanuts and maize or hemp then get them on the darkness a darkness bird will win hands down to a natural bird as still got a full wing go and ask the best flyer in your club or fed that is constantly in top 3 each week i bet he/shesays they are on darkness only way to go nowif you wont to compete with ybs some might dissagree but how many darky are on the top of your print out each week i bet theres more darkness ybs than they are natural all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dal2 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 cheers guys i agree but some of my ybs arnt even moved over yet ? whens the latest i can put them on darkness my yb loft is already set up for darkness but my stock birds paired up late so i have 11 ybs in yb loft now and ive got another 17 to move in the next few weeks any advice welcome Theres no probs movin them around tthis time on to darkness. Move them in the next week with dark hours between say 7 till 7 and look to remove darkness around 8th may weekend. Make sure any darkness system suits you. Darkness hours vary from fancier to fancier and consentrate on what suits your time. Cheers steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulkie Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 leighton imo once u have moved yb to the yb loft never add any more at a later date, fly the rest natural , i have always found my natural yb do better in the early yb races. hope this helps. m yb are only 5/6 days old and the first will be put on darkness.
