late breed training?

[Guest dogeon]

hi as im new to the sport can any one give me some advice!

i only had 3 ybs left after the final club races, but i have got some late breeds which im now training with the 3 remaining birds, ready for the yearling, should i be traing them as i would at the begining of the season or should i be resting them to get ready for breeding

you can train your latebreds but i would leave the young that's raced the programme at home they've had enough already and should be moulting now

Agree, surprised the 3 racebirds are in a fit state, are they not well into the moult now?

 

Think your thinking was spot-on tho, the racebirds are experienced and should make educating your latebreds that bit easier..

 

Just watch for the weather turning colder then stop them. Advice on this forum for latebreds turned yearlings is to wait till warmer weather in May before you start training them again next year.

thanks,

im no expert but i think that the 3 race birds have already moulted they where moulting during the race i brought them in may and i didn.t darken by the middle of the yb season when they were moulting there performance was bad but now they have all there new feathers and flights the weather here is not to bad at the moment but i will stop them when it gets to cold (not just for the birds sake  ;D )

in my opinion , would train them locally [say up to 15 miles ,on their own ,in good weather,in differant directions ,as they will now be body moulting too now]  i would say, the biggest problem would be ,training them too early next year [that will spell disaster] train them in may , with just a couple of come back races , theyll make great two year olds [if their still there,,hope so ]
