Plan to give the cocks a toss this afternoon i think from 10 miles as its the first of the year and have plenty of time to build them up.

 

The plan is to give them a toss from the race point the week before the racing starts - Havent asked the courier yet though if he fancies doing it.

Will start letting them out this week sometime but dont know when i'll start training as i dont usually bother with the 1st couple of races.I never went to the 1st 2 old bird races last year

Wouldn't mind some of that from race point Chris

 

Spoke with Brian he is happy to do it, will sort out a day and see what interest is about town in it and Brian will sort a price out.

 

Think should be looking at around 100 birds to make it viable.

 

how far is your first race vallance

 

 

First race is approx 68 miles John.

They are on their way to a 10 miler, after maybe 5 of these they will go to 20 miles and a couple at 30.

 

The chuck from the racepoint is something new but worked well for those that did it last season.

Yeah fly the hens.

 

But pleased to say we very very rarely have had problems with hawks taking birds.

Your lucky had 14 strikes last year

 

Your out in the sticks though John im in the slums lol  ;D

 

Not accounting for birds dropped racing or training as some must have been hit by the hawks but i think i have stiched one up in 5 years that has got home.
