so does that mean that the lads that have their yb rung now mean their yb are really yearlings imo yes i think they are we can not get our rings till jan 2012 and they are yb not yb rung in december 2011 cant see how people ring yb with 2012 rings in december 2011 its wrong but thats jmo

IT'S A YEARLING THE YEAR AFTER THE YEAR DATE ON IT'S RING DISNAE MATTER IF IT IS 2 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME OR 12 MONTHS OLD ON THE 1ST OF JANUARY ALL 2011 RUNG PIGEONS ARE YEARLINGS

[JohnQuinn]

A yearling becomes a yearling the day after its first birthday, until the day of its 2nd birthday, no matter what age the Ring says it is.

I do agree with what you're saying, I don't think youngsters ringed in 2011 should be wearing 2012 rings,especially as it's not an option to everyone, but if it is wearing a 2012 ring it will be a 2012 young bird

you dont get much of a headstart only a couple of weeks at most i would think

so as yearlings it wouldnt make any differance if they were 2 weeks older

17 1/2 months or 18 months old

 

ps- i dont get my rings till january

and it doesnt bother me that i could be racing against

birds 2 or 3 weeks older than mine

 

i would be doing that anyway if i paired up later

All birds at 18mnths. are yearlings, 0-1yr. is a y/bird 1-2yr. is a yearling, So 23 months is still a yearling

doesnt bother me either we dont pair up early its just imo all rings should be handed out the turn ov the year not end ov the year

My August / September late breds I bred this year, will be in 5 days time yearlings. Simple that.... as I couldn't race them next season y/b's for instance. But can race them upto 500 miles etc. if I so wished.

Think, personally, that they would take all the beating at that.

You say you cant get your rings until Jan.is that because your in the SHU as RPRA members can get them in Dec,received our club rings about 5 days ago and also my NFC rings,not that it makes much difference to me as I wont be using them until Feb.
