Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 whats your thoughts on training late breds i have just had mine away for the first time 20miles they came well
Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 JUST KEEP THEM THERE THEN OR EVEN A BIT CLOSER
Sean Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 iv two late breds never been race or train infact never been in a basket only to bring them to my loft. i was thinking of trying to break them.Whats the best way forwards to do this as their settle at mates loft which is about a mile away. iv had these now about 4 weeks.
pigeonpete Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 make sure you pick your days mate!! better to train on cold dry days, than windy cloudy days best of luck
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Personally Sean I wouldn't even try to settle them yet, I would leave them longer to settle then let them out when they are down on eggs
Roland Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Any bird to be broken has to have freedom of the loft. Confidence that it can get in when / if eventually comes back. You must keeping letting them out every three days and fetching back if need be. But they have to feel safe and protected in any enviroment. Yes pairing / young etc. but still allowed out every three days ... some will still go ack to their original loft on hard race days first....
barlbylofts Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 dont bother i tried it once and lost the lot late breds not a lot of cop.well thats my thoughts lol good luck mate mark barlbylofts

Guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 wether permiting they are going to the forth bridge on friday
square_peg Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I THINK YOU SHOULD TOSS THEM FROM LETHAM (WEATHER PERMITTING) AROUND A DOZEN TIMES PICK YOUR DAYS BUILD UP THEIR CONFIDENCE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD DOO'S WERE ONLY TOSSED AS YOUNGSTERS NEXT YEAR YOU COULD BREAD FROM THEM AND GIVE THEM SOME RACING
THE FIFER Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 only advice can give with latebreds dnt train in an east wind they wont like it Its not only late-breds that don't like the east wind some old birds are the same, more so if its cold, so as u say not good for latebreds,
rockinrick Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 i have 7 latebreds to train , i let them out today an it was like watchin a load of nutters on pot lol
Wiley Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 yea i agree fifer pigeons seem to come loopy in east winds,on a east wind pigeons always seem edgy for some reason
Guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I THINK YOU SHOULD TOSS THEM FROM LETHAM (WEATHER PERMITTING) AROUND A DOZEN TIMES PICK YOUR DAYS BUILD UP THEIR CONFIDENCE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD DOO'S WERE ONLY TOSSED AS YOUNGSTERS NEXT YEAR YOU COULD BREAD FROM THEM AND GIVE THEM SOME RACING they have been to letham about ten times. the one that was missing was on the board at 6 this morning it was still dark

Guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 no i should have said the first time at 20 miles they have had some stick for 2 weeks at 10 miles THINK YOUR TELLING PORKIES
jimmy white Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 think latebreds can be good birds if handled right , found the best way with l breds was to train them in the year of their birth , train them with ybs as yearlings[or a couple of races in may] as two year olds can go on the rd and win [ found most latebreds go down in early training i.e. march april as yearlings] as their not fully moulted untill second year.ie flights, but a lot of bother, really,,,,,but at the same time had some turn out really good ones
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 THINK YOUR TELLING PORKIES THAT;S NOT NICE CLOCKIE ;D ;D ;D ;D
dave Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 about 30 miles to far for clockies birds :P :P
