Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 I am racing natural this year due to being in my final year in school taking 16 GCSE exams, so i thought it would be the easiest way to race both cocks and hens, how would you go about feeding, and water on a saturday to saturday basis? Thanks in advance Ben
Guest Owen Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 I would like to help you but I am an out and out widowhood flyer and I don't have a clue about natural pigeons. But what I do know for sure is that widowhood cocks take much less work than anything else. Obviously there is a level of skill needed to get the best out of them but once you get used to it they require much less work. All the successful natural flyers I know work hard at training not to mention all the work to get the birds to exercise. I hope that helps. And if you want to know how to feed widowhood cocks, I can help you there.
pjc Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 stick to widowhood and fit your routine around school!
just ask me Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 widowhood only way ask people who work that my advice and same as Owen any questions mate just ask way too much traning needed to compete at a high level flying natural
JADE Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 read the walker & wilson article by bill wortley (the best scribe in any of the papers) in last weeks rp. they do loads of training though so dont think it would suit the time you have available. in my opinion its unlikely you would have much success at club level flying natural but after 400 miles anything is possible
Guest strapper Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 i topped the welsh north road fed flying natural and 22yrds in front of the next bird. widowhood maybe the system that beats most but get a bird right and they can surprise you. a m8 of mine has topped the fed 7? times on different routes flying natural. ive raced natural since starting 12years a go and have no intention of changing.
Guest vining45 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 sid miles of peasedown st john allway a hard man to beat at any distance says he prefers natural but you have got to train them widowhood gives u more time to yourself as you dont desturb them and you try to keep them quite natruals you need to study to see what they fly to best be it driving / sitting eggs or feeding young
Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 thank you guys, is it too late to change to widowhood
sapper756 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Ben, I suggest you race, Widowhood, and race the cocks every week, save the hens, there's always next year when your studies are over, simplest way for you I think m8, good luck, both with your birds and your studies
sapper756 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 thank you guys, is it too late to change to widowhood Why? simply split the pairs up, and start training the cocks
Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 as they are just laying and some are still rearing my first race is the 25th, i didnt race hens last year either, so they wont be any good to start as 3 y/os will they?
