Sean,

 

I think with widowhood it doesn't really matter what time you exercise the birds just as long as you stick to the same routine every day. I have seen some Belgian fanciers in videos etc only exercising cocks once a day. It's just a matter of suiting a system to your day to day life. After all its a hobby not a chore.

Incidentally my widowhood hens are exercised once a day and they cleared up in the club for me this year aswell as putting in some good national performances.

 

Hope this helps - enjoy your season!! If we have one.

widowhood cocks 1 hour in the morning,and one hour in the evening if they dont fly three quarters of an hour each time id make them,but they must get perfect peace during the day [other wise they will not fly] youll know when their in form , when they fly more than this,, on their own

OUR WIDOWERS GO OUT AT 07.00 AND THEN ARE LOCKED IN THE DARK UNTIL 15.00 WHEN THEY GO OUT AGAIN AND ARE THEN LEFT IN NORMAL LIGHT.WE FOUND LEAVING THEM IN THE DARK DURING THE DAY KEPT THEM QUIET,RESTED AND IMPROVED THEIR PERFORMANCES.
