[Guest joshdonlan]

so your racers and stock get mixed together?

 

do you not let them out at all all winter?

[Guest IB]

I usually just leave them alone, a bit of R&R, until the end of the YB racing when I split the sexes for the winter.

I tend to leave them together untill the young bird season is over, however I do not allow them to rear anymore young, I replace all eggs with dummies. Once the young bird season is over, then I split everything up, and start looking at my teams for the forthcoming season.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

i usually leave them together until young bird season is over before spliting them up, i sometimes allow the odd youngster to be reared depending on how losses are with the old birds more of a backup & usually race any latebred birds up to 200 miles the following season
