Today saw all the distance minded pigeons being left together with Thurso in mind. These won't race now till the event but will receive training to
Keep them ticking, the cocks may go to this coming weeks race sent on the drive. The sprint pigeons still on widowhood. I haven't seen the previous weeks fed result yet to update where we are on that. When I start my two week build up for Thurso I will go quiet in depth for those that are interested

that will be interesting just to see your change in food types and amounts fed

[Wiley]

Today will see both feeds for the distance pigeons consisting of what I would call a heavy in protein mixture, which is a mixture of maple peas, green peas, yellow peas, and mung beans. Regarding measurements it's 15grams each morning and night today so making the quantity for the day being around 1oz and 1/4. The distance pigeons as they will be sitting around til basketing they will be trained regular, and tuesday will see them going 47 miles. My good hen Scratch was hawked at Perth, so unfortunately she will be unable to go to Thurso, the race I wanted her to go all year, but she made it home which is the main thing.

Birds had a disaster, all home but well off the pace. Tomorrow the buildUp for Thurso is going to start as I had messed up my days. One more sprint old bird race left.

[JonesyBhoy]

So you are competing with the same Doos from the sprints to the distance races.. just modifying the feeding as the season progresses?

Jonesy, I require my birds to compete at every distance

How many that perform at 100 still perform at 500?

Dal, how can I really give a number? My best hen pigeon at 72 miles, is one of my best at 500 miles. One of my best cock racers at 177 miles is also one of my best at 500 miles.

[Wiley]

To get the best results I'm a believer you must send your best, not just send the birds that have done nothing all year!

That's all you needed to say...good birds are good birds kept in good order will win anywhere from anywhere

[bluey]

I think that where you live and race to affects how you can race your birds.

Where I live inland racing goes to 200+ miles after that we are over the channel which is a different ball game.

I do not send good winners over the water, mainly based on their ancestry and also not wanting to risk them being lost.

I do have some awaiting liberation from 400 miles that have scored inland more than once and have been across before but not arrived in prize winning times from the channel races so do do not have a great deal of confidence in them this time.

However they had to go they were always beaten by loft mates in the earlier races and are now at an age where they are approaching the end of their racing careers.
