darkness next year again same as the last few years, had some naturals this year and they were the ones that had ybs , the darkies were no problem at all

[fletch]

Good point mate o mine had young cock that flew well on darkness done nothing as yearling

 

from two onwards is racing machine eight firsts plus second open national ,I myself have lost club and fed winners as yearlings ,natural youngsters do seem steadier as yearlings. as for ybs

 

never had it until last year with birds that were brought in ,same again this year am convinced

 

the virus lies dormant in loft ,going to strip out inside and creosote all surfaces don't want

 

this every year .

first 2 rounds darkies.... next rounds natural....

and last year the both teams done ok

[blaz]

natural for my yb,s 1st round will get stopped with moult 2nd round should go to all yb, races . them that come thru yb season and go on to race the following year soon out shine darkness yearlings.natural yb,s also don,t need stopped the following year to recover and get themselves in order. the darkness system takes to much for me out of yb,s .when they are young and growing and need all the help they can get. yb,s for 1 year ob,s for a lot longer. O.M.O

[bombersbullets]

darkness for me every time
