distance races

[Guest j v ward]

how many races do you give youre pigeons before sending them  to  above  250  mile race

[Roland]

0  to 1, depend sex, expierence and age, and of course nest circle.  1 or 2 50 mile tosss and watch a hen on 14 day eggs go. other wise any amount. The most important thing is loft fitness.

Depends on the bird obviously but a distance bird could be started at a race beyond 250miles all other things being equal.

Two races from between 50 to 100 then 250 four weeks before 500 plus.Week before 500 should have 5 training tosses 30 to 50 miles. bringing bird into form for distance.

[Guest casbri]

come on jv answer my question

[Guest j v ward]

i have found that hens do not need as much racing or training  as cocks befor  the longer races

[Guest]

i think it depends on individual birds some need more than others the secret is knowing when not to train

[Fair Play]

I would surmise that like any other sport there is danger of over training pigeons can't call halt. It is therefore important to keep your records up to date

[Guest]

with regards to training i have a 04 cock that i was gifted as a yb i kept him for stock but had him flying out this bird never bred much so this year he went into the basket for the first time in his life he had 3 50 mile tosses then 3 channel races one at 222mls and 2 at 270 mls if no restriction next year he will go 500+ so i think it is an individual thing

Widow Cocks go to every race up to 250. Only ever get a break maybe a week or 2 before a real big one (500+)
