geordie1234 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Posted June 4, 2010 Well I was told that late breds this year won't stand a chance against old birds next year so not sure what's best to do
JohnQuinn Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 Well I was told that late breds this year won't stand a chance against old birds next year so not sure what's best to do. There is some truth in that, but to get the best out of them and prepare them to be good 2yr olds, you should race them as yearlings. I wouldn't keep them for stock but would breed from them. The best of them will still be there the next year to take more from.
Guest IB Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 'Latebred' can mean different things, depending on when that fanciers 'normal' breeding season begins. You may actually be getting later bred pigeons that are hatched just a few weeks too late to catch the YB racing. Check out what month they hatch(ed). Try to get them trained this year. You will then have a better chance racing them as yearlings in 2011, but start them in May when the weather is kinder - they are notoriously difficult to train & race in colder weather March / April - they seem to go down like ninepins then, don't know why.

Go round to the nearest fancier to your loft and he'll keep you right. All the Best
peterpau Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Just train em out to 10 mile. Breed from 'em in the spring. Start to train 'em in May and give 'em a few races from June as old birds. They will give you a good start if you can wait this long. Patience with late breds.
