hawked again Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 That's why you shouldn’t start training them until two or three weeks before the first race. They can be flying great around the loft or ranging for hours at a time but once you start training you need to keep it up regular as they just want to sit around after you start to take them down the road.
The engineer Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Had a similar thing with mine i sorted out the feeding they were a little better. I then treated with coxoid now flying again for at least 45 mins some did 1 1/2 hous today.
just ask me Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 give them a small treat half hour before you let them out

If you don't they will come from the race on a Saturday and sit up there looking atyou!! I go to extraordinary lengths to chase my Yb's from any roof they land on, they soon learn the only place "safe" to land is the loft. After they get the drift they never land on roof again

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Always found once ye start yer babies on the road they'll no fly as well round the hut-so not too much to worry about I'd think. Was told by a pigeon racing god though.If yer young birds arnae flying well round home there is one of two things you can do 1) get them tested 2) add barley to their feed
