It used to be ommon practice when racing natural young birds ect, but seems every year we pair up earlier and earlier

[Guest joshdonlan]

let my racers together on Sunday as they hens were starting to go rank. I will be racing these dry as I have a fair stock team and not too much space. 20/25 youngsters will do me this season. I have over 50 OBs to race

 

I will pair the stock pigeons in a couple of weeks
