my mate up north tells me he does this every week and takes em to the club still wet ,i personally don't do it but i have given em a cold bath if they want(not forced) but not every week or if their's a chance they'll meet rain coming home.

Ive seen it done and done it, it relaxes the birds in the basket, so they sit and preen themselves rather than fighting etc

we bath on a friday morning in very hot water with klaus bath salts added, it relaxs the birds, some times we even turn the boiler up to get the water a little hotter they love it

I,ve tried all ways, after a race, on a sunday, wednesday, thursday, friday morning, hot, warm, cold, it hasnt set any pattern to winning as they've won all ways. If I only had one day to bath them it would be a Sunday after a Saturday race... 8) 8)

I have hand bathed my birds in hot water with Radox in it after a hard fly.Watch them go to sleep.The Radox totally relaxes their muscles, this in turn helps them recover better
