Yes and no! Do you want to? why? and sure it is better to have a round off hem first. If you wish to break a bird, it must be within three days of it coming into your loft. No matter if it means retrieving it 20 times - though that wouldn't be the case. How far to travel, would they be happy with you retrieving!

Now the bird must feel SAFEW and always able to get back into your loft.

It must also want to be there, and that means likes your set up.

  Something it didn't like about the other and replaed with what it prefers.

Yes a mate may help ... but don't go for the Nest / young scenario, that only works if it is as above!

Yes I have broken many withing three days, and have raced - before the new set of transfer rules applied of course, within 3 weeks, like my mate did with a card taken after only 8 days in the loft.

Have had a bird when I first started - I had 24 March the 10th and broke 21 in and raced them every race North and South in 1986. -  Fellow changed his mind and pulled his loft down saying I was a Bloody nuscience etc. or would have broken them too - any this bird was on young, and I tossed it with the others on the Thursday at Grantham 50 miles nigh, and it went back to the previous owner. I fetched back Friday afternoon and left it 20 minutes on it's nest and then basketed it. 2nd Club 14th Fed Frazerboroughnearly 400 miles.
