Smithy Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Dont need tp darken for that long.( 6 - 8 weeks ) Problems arise if you do it for longer!!!! If wanting as old bird National pigeons, fly naturally with ybs.Think about your best distance birds over years and you will realise that they were not darkened as ybs. There are always the exceptions to this rule........

Tony C Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 i did the light system last yr mate thats why it all went horrible wrong they had chucked their flights and come the first race they was all pushing 9th and 10th primary flights which stopped me from entering into the first races i hadnt worked out the lights propley when i weaned them i should have put them on lights then but i didnt so for the first few wks of weaning they was on natrual darkness hrs which was the cause of them not chucking the lot on time for the first races i tried it and failed so im doing what i now and that will be darkness this yr and all the ybs will be going over the water cheers jason Jason did you read the post on cutting and pulling the outer flights.
