resting up what for the birds i have for this race only go to the 1st couple of ob races. the rest of the season the birds take it easy . at this time of year the birds come in to winter form flying 1 and a half hours to 2 hours round loft.this morning with all the rain no training birds let out flew 1 and a half hours round loft in the pouring rain before landing then having a bath. my lot get good food all year round no cut backs after season to the cheap mixes.if they should be resting someone needs to tell them. question did you let your birds have last winter resting up.if so type of season did you have in 09
