depends how you treated them and how your selection is

treat them all the same and your only selection is the baskite and race them right out ;)

[Guest Owen]

I would expect to loose and dump youngsters down to about 50% of what I start with. After that I expect to loose about 10%/20% per year.

But when you are dealing with 100, you would most likely loose a lot more because they would be subject to overcrowding and the stresses associated with it. But it would not be that I would be concerned about. I would be worried that the birds would not perform well enough. I have 16 cocks to race and they are a very good team. So this year's young cocks are going to have to be very good for them to be selected for the team. And that is how I like it.

Flying into the Prevailing West Winds into our Area by the time they are 3 you will be lucky to be left with 5 that are any use unless you use the same bottle as Tam the Great.

There is no guarantee how many birds you will get back from a race as all it takes is one bad liberation.

I have been lucky this last 8 years but 10 years ago I had 33 young birds that won every single young bird race. They came out again as yearlings and won the first 4 old bird races and on the 5 race they hit thick fog on the channel I lost 17 from 23 sent and I was one of the lucky ones. How many of them 17 lost would have went on to be good 2 and 3 year olds I will never know because of that one bad  liberation.

your very much right bigda some of the best birds ive ever clocked out

of france were yearlings that were never over the water as young birds

theres very few that home again after doing it once your very right

about the sh** fanciers sending birds that couldent fly over the kitchen

sink you need birds bread for the job to much dirt been sent and we all

pay the prise for them they cant clock these birds from a land race so

they think the bird will fly 3 chanels to be clocked

Let us know how you got on with the 5 that got through and how they were bred.

hard to say 10 if your lucky  depends on your previous seasons losses and results

HANG OVER MATE SORRY LADS

Let us know how you got on with the 5 that got through and how they were bred.

 

 

They where same way bred as the brothers and sisters that got lost (Hartogs). To tell the truth I think the 5 that made it went up the land into scotland before crossing and by going that way they where always going to be late. A lot of the fanciers birds where reported washed up on the beach at Wexford. 4 of the ones that got lost had been at the same race as young birds and all 4 home in 15 mins.
