sapper756 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 :'( :'(DECIDING TO SEND A WIDOWHOOD COCK TO A 500+MILE RACE, OVER THE CHANEL. MY PROBLEM IS, DO I KEEP HIM ON THE WIDOWHOOD, OR SHOULD I REPAIR HIM PRIOR TO THE RACE? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MORE THAN WELCOME.
swilcox Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 If he has been flying well on widowhood then leave him on Widowhood!!!! Repairing can work but 9 out 10 times the cock goes off the boil unless you get him a big young one. Stuart
slatey Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Pigeons are individuals some will do better on widowhood some better paired its down to you sapper knowing your own pigeons. tomo
Mike Lycett Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 I've seen loads of pigeons win 500-600 on widowhood. Don't worry about it. I'm with Stu
kaybee Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 our 6th open reims, 548 miles was on widowhood. wouldn't change anything except the feeding leading up to basketing
keano Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 many a good hen has also done well at the distance.
jimmy white Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 i would say sapper if its won b4 on wedowhood leave it on widowhood
