are you asking -open hole after the racing's finished and not feeding them again until racing the next year? .  it's not something i'd like to try.

Yes,years ago in lanarkshire,think it was Burrell Bros or Weeks from Douglas Water area and they had some fantastic results the following seasons.

yes start feeding whats left before u pair them up. the healthy ones would be left .a bet it would rid the weak oot

I DONT GET IT?  YOU LEAVE THE BIRDS LIVE WILD THROUGH THE WINTER IS THAT IT??????????

I remember reading this was practised by a some many moons ago, the way agriculture is nowadays with all the chemicals they pump into the land I don’t think It would do them a lot of good.

now thats a good piont .but the birds that go down and work the feilds home still win

if ya dont feed em they go to the field and if it was my farm and my grain i shoot em all if they good or not hope you live near me lol boom

[Tony C]

Perhaps its one of the reasons why we dont seem to see them again like we used to do.
