early bred ybs

[frank-123]

i was thinking of pairing early so i would have ybs rung in january do you think this is to early or would they be ok for racing in july

plan i am thinking is breed twenty early then twenty later bred pigeons see if there is much diffrence in there racing

 

good idea or bad what do you think

;D you wont know till u try Bart  ;D , this year , my best so far , youngbirds were bred earlier, i paired up middle of january , majority went over in a 3 week window , so no great age difference , and i think this made a significant diffrence .       best of luck to you .                          andy

the y/bs rung early january need to be trained early as well but can be trained at the same time as your old birds and if kept at it, they will take some beating when it comes to racing them

early bred yb,s on natural darkness will body moult and hold flights ,,good for yb racing,,,,,but if you  let the  adult pairs sit more than 10 days on second round, they'll start throwing  flights ,, no good for longer races   [ok for w,hood sitting only 8days on second round]

I STOPPED MY YBS 5 RACES BEFORE END OV SEASON THIS YR THEY WAS ALL WEANED 23 JAN I SCHOOLED THEM WELL I WAS IN TOP 6 WHEN   I WAS RACING THEM BUT AS SOON AS I STOPPED THEM WITHIN 2/3 DAYS THEY FELL APART AT THE SEEMS

My club mate and Secy Jim Jack has wiped the floor with us for a few years now with January bred youngsters - look and handle like yearlings.

we done that this year for the first time, early ones beat the others everytime, did get one or two others put in a good show, but not as consistent as began to heavy body moult

 

earliest yb hatched 8th jan

 

you can tell the difference day and night

 

we didnt train early but they did roam really well april/may time
