hello ray ,this is another ray here ! once  set up a three way box ,two hens paired to one cock, a nestbowl for each hen cock in the middle .those two hens hated each other ,took the cock away between 8 am  and 5pm gave the hens three 30 mile trainers each week ,those two hens (nest sisters) were never out of the first four and on the fed sheet for six weeks ? on the trot ?

I've raced the natural and the roundabout,,, wont say I did everything right,,, probably far from it but I found the best results came from the time on roundabout. Funny you mention the jealousy; One season I had a bad early channel race, and my good channel hens' cock went down; so coming upto the next channel race I paired her to another of my race team cocks, whilst I kept his hen out of the way. It came to basketing they had made a nest that morning with some straw I'd put in (extra motivation I hoped) so I basketed her up; and then let his original hen through (first time she had seen any bird all week - but no doubt she had heard the shinanagins going on next door with him pairing to the other hen!). When it came to the race, it was a funny one, but this hen (not the channel hen) beat everything to my loft by a country mile and took a canny postition in the race (not being helped by my incompetent clocking skills - another story ) - the good channel hen was beaten from the channel that day, for the first and only time to my loft. I wish I could have done that to my hen every week, it was definately the motivation she needed.
