eastcoaster Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 We all know something is affecting our birds more than it used to but after reading delboys comments on sat about birds not knowing what they were doing when returning from the race my ybs are going to pot , I let them out yesterday where they flew for a bit then came down and had a bath and lazed around all day but when I went to call them in at 6.00 they took to the sky and flew all bloody night and for the second time in a couple of weeks they stayed out all night and came back in 1 and2s and I am still 15 missing which includes 3 that was at the race on sat! I was here all day and they showed no sign of fear or anything but just would not land .after dropping 10 on sat now this happening I like many others are just not enjoying what is supposed to be a hobby not a f,n full time job .

Walter swanston Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 I have always raced young birds and I quite enjoy young bird racing but I keep reading of prominent fanciers who categorically state that they never race their birds until they are yearlings does any of the site experts have an opinion?.

peter pandy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 I spent many an hour with Bernard De-Weerdt when he visited England and he told me the following.The family rear and put on darkness a young bird team and at the end of young bird racing all are sold.At the end of old bird racing the race team rear a team of latebreds which are used to race out to 150 miles as yearlings the following year. They are raced no further than 300 miles as 2 year olds and at 3 are sent to Barcelona due to the fact they are late developers.
Whats it called Cumbernauld Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Walter guess ur not the only one thinking this. as long as they are trained on the year of there birth. South coast as yearlings Something's got to change and its up to individuals no guidance from union seems we have just to keep going till there is none left. O the joys
eastcoaster Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Posted July 29, 2013 I have always raced young birds and I quite enjoy young bird racing but I keep reading of prominent fanciers who categorically state that they never race their birds until they are yearlings does any of the site experts have an opinion?.I think this is my way from now on , I have 14 yearling left that have had a race or more this year only 4 raced as ybs the rest were only basket trained(feed &drink) so who knows .

just ask me Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 What is the hidden illness JAM? para geo and when the stress hits the birds all s hit breaks loose the birds first stop responding to your call when out flying then they fly stupid as in flying out at night times stareing into space when racing starts or other kinds of stress they fall apart birds kept in non stress conditions as in never raced it very hard to see but they will look perfect from the outside and healthy this can be carried from your stock though the egg even
walterboswell59 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 What is the hidden illness JAM?thats allso one of the signs of ybs or adenovirus ian
