ALF Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 How are everyones preperations going building up to the opening federation races??? Most of my birds have had about 10 tosses now out to about 35 mls and were seperated on sunday and cankered on monday maybe another toss each for the cocks and hens and then let them see eachother for a few minutes on friday and in the baskets with both sexes (seperately) and we'll see what saturday brings us All the best to everyone racing this year...Alan
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Will be good to get started again ALAN , been a long wait but it will get the adrenalin going again and some folk will be pulling their hair out [ obviously you willnae ALAN ] waiting on the birds, but hopefully things will be okay on the day, know there might be some folk just waiting for a mistake to be made because of the way I criticised the control team last year but i know one thing we willnae be letting them up when the birds cannae see in front of them for rain and black skies, I have managed to get a contact at every liberation point plus a good few from on here so it will not be for the want of trying to get it right, so we can just try and do our best .
Guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 ;D good luck to you both for the new season andy 8)
