sox Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Anyone breeding early this year ? I used to but no more , I've decided to try new birds this year !! Having said that I would have to be carefull letting them out as I have three neibours who are feeding street pigeons ! Don't want them mixing with them !!
andy Burgess Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 depends what you class as early ? we will pair up after Blackpool , which is early enough in my book

dal2 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 I have no issues wae breeding early. In fact I really like getting the ybs in one round and well on the wing before racing starts with the old birds
dal2 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 And the moult Dal2?Darkness for me mate
OF ONE SKIN Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 What about the old birds for the later races though?
dal2 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 What about the old birds for the later races though?Racers rear the first eggs from the stock and then are split to race roundabout/jealousy so no nesting cycles lets them hold the wing better.
Mossgiel Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Beginning of March for me. More daylight hours in the morning and same when I return home at night. Youngsters weaned end of April, therefore less chance of sparrowhawk attacks while the youngsters are very vulnerable.
andyyy Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 i have 36 pair of whidowhood and 12 pair of stock paired up, Currently just started laying.get them Parted gives me plenty of time to play with the widowhood cocks and no rush in getting them flying before 1st race. found this worked brilliant, having 8 1st with the old birds alone. Up to le-mans.Best of luck with 2015 all
philg50 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 March for me ween late April its long enough to feed yer young doos before you loose most of them if this year is anything to go by with the bad reports i heard of from a lot of fanciers .
MIK Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 im all over the place this year...have a few im sending out ...want to pair mid Feb but i may pair a few together earlier to get exports out of the way
C WRIGHT Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Blackpool weekend for me and darkness system Same as last year seemed to be more than Early enough to get them through the darknessAnd moving also suited my work hrs pretty good Can't wait won't be long now
