Flying

[ken]

hi my old birds fly for about 15min then whant to be down i cant flag them as they just go to the house roof when i say flying they go like the wind flat out in a thight bunch high in the sky there great to watch but is that long anuf for them they do it morning and night

[OLDYELLOW]

flag them then tennis ball them once you've got a routeen and keep to it your birds will benefit , what stage are you at re breeding and system your flying ??

[ken]

when i flag them they go to the roofs if i throw a ball at them they just go fether up the road and land or over the trees onto the next estae. there on round

[OLDYELLOW]

how long you had them out ?????

i think i would rather take them training, than let them do that.

wouldn't be much point training them if not fit

they are fit as iv been traing them morning and night 15ml and they are doing it in 11 min because they wont fly at home why i dont no

It can be tricky to get them going for any length of time round the loft if they are being tossed.

The guys I've seen whos doos seem to go like the clappers round the doors give them very little training by road but you'll want to get them some tosses under their belt to get them started for the year??

Another thing I found with pigeons I had on roundabout for the first few races last season was that they flew better round the hut when they were only getting out once a day.Each to their own though

[OLDYELLOW]

if there getting tossed i aint surprised there only doing 15 minutes

[ken]

they where doing about 10 or 15 min around the hut before i started to take them away

as been said you can't have your cake an eat it , I usually let mine out for a half an hour then basket them then take them training , 2 tosses at 15 mile is ok if temp above 10 degree and wind not from north or east , otherwise it takes it out of them , imo your asking to much of them it's only early yet

Same with mine once weather got warmer hens would fly for 2 hours ,yet cocks when out would just continuously strike of ,yet they were usually first home .

Think with widowers or roundabout pigeons how well they fly round home depends on the feeding as well

[lvlasked]

im on natural cocks and hens fly around the loft for an hour and 15mins ever evening they only let out once again and again thanks to oldyellow i feed them a light feed in the morning now
