[eastcoaster]

How do you all get your widow cocks fit ? Here in Greengairs it rains every day ,last week I only had them out 3 hours ,this week only 4 hours , I am away at 7 in morning and not home till 6 so can't alter when I exercise them , they are no where near fit and we are in the fourth race , getting a bit fed up getting up a 5 every day . There,s the rain on again .*expletive removed*.

Go natural and open bowl Colin, give them a couple of tosses, job done.

They could be as fit as fleas but in changeable crap weather w/hood cocks don't perform at their best. Get them out and get them fit then wait for a more settled spell to concentrate on getting them in good condition.

That is the way I am starting to think ! It's my first try at widow and not sure it's for me , I have a few very nice hens and not the room for roundabout .

Have had them out in all weathers but they don,t like it and can't get them in racing condition in this weather imo.
