Part Of Our Setup (W/Hood Cocks)

[hibby]

Just thought I'd put some pics up of w/hood cock loft and birds, I enjoy seeing other people's birds and setups so here's a few of mine

Some of the birds, only have 6 cocks to race next year 4 yearlings 2011 and 2 older birds who have flew channel so. There's then 10 young cocks from this year however unfortunately these birds have never been raced as my partner had lost interest over the past couple years due to a few close friends of his in the sport passing away. However I'm back with him now after moving back up into my home village and getting things back on track and his heart back into the sport. I plan on selecting 6 of the best yb cocks from this year and training them up early maybe a few 80 mile training chucks and a 100 miler before season starts then try racing them to 250mile this year. Any thoughts on this?

great pictures and a nice little loft .think you may struggle with some of the un-raced cocks if not trained at all either ??

Sorry it's the way I've wrote it, I'm going to train them up early so about a month before the first race I will have had them at 40 miles tosses at least 6 times them a 60/70 x2 then a 100 miler 2 weeks before first race. Hopefully what's left will cope with first races up to 250 miles. Going to have my work cut out but some are just to good to cull but not worthy of going to stock so ill let basket sort them. Hopefully let me compete inland instead of just channel plus have some old birds for 2014

Sapper my fav there's something about him seems a step in front of the rest even old birds when I changed trap design ( they were used to open door) this lad was in within 30nsecs some are still bait edges now after 2 weeks. I've been trying find his family my partner had them gifted to him by a top fancier down here trying to encourage him to keep flying. They are a German breed but he can't remember name he thinks its something like "kip" pigeons or something like that just a short name.... Any ideas

 

good luck

I Think ill need lots of it
