looks like you either need to get your misses involved or get a partner for mornings

i would think that would be nigh on impossible cocks hens and ybs to let out , unless you were perminant nights  :-/ or you have a partner to assist

[jimbhoy29]

ive got my papa to help out if needed.  ive got good hens that i want to race

[OLDYELLOW]

well you need to find a patern within your shifts to give you a set routeen this will create less stress for the birds and if wanting to race hens if can get them trained 2 or 3 times a week , i think you'l be ok   most fanciers that race the hens say they need more work , was first year flying hens as yearlings  to 360 miles 1 went to 414 mile and 524 mile this year as in past my cocks were always better and were last year but be racing yearling hens again next year and work them a bit more

all the best.

i work a 4 on 4 off 12 hr shift, nights if i can get them but not gauranteed.

you will need someone who can fill in for you to keep them right,feeding and exercise has to be carefully managed.
