Wiley Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi RyanAre you going to turn your current old bird team to south or continue on both routes Hello mate12 old birds will be tried on the south that have never ever had a toss that way to just test the south road and get a feel of the differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Cheers RyanI notice the birds you are getting in are real distance birds , don't forget the Bicc have loads of 250 to 400 mile type races which could well suit your family of birds that you race north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neila Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's strange when you swop birds I changed from south to north this year and won the fed with a hen that scored many times for me south yet also had a hen that had a 3 rd and 6 th fed that never scored at all on the south and was only kept due to being paired to a decent cock and they way she was in the hand etcSome seem to benefit from the change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neila Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Very true Be interesting to know if he trains the ybs around the clock , or on set north and south route I know he sends ybs both ways but wonder how he trains them leading into the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 My best season on the south, they went south every 2nd week. Every other week they had a short race from the north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Watching a video he trains them on there line and just does the switch drastically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi mateDoes he train south then switch them north? When I raced south I trained my ybs south but once the birds had one south road race the following year as yearling I only went north due to the time , I never had my clock set for the inland but over the water they came well as I lived away from the loft they had a hopper of beans and three or four feeds of Gerry and fats prior to marking one year they were in the top 20 of the combine in the four water races I sent to the year before they had a 3 rd and 4 th combine. Now I have more time and race on the north I wouldn't dream of taking them to far off the line I want them to hit on race day and feed set amount twice a day and no beans after Sunday , pretty much the same pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi mate Yes will be raced and trained south all year and then sent to a North Road race Next Thursday will see me and Dad visiting Mark Bulleds loft to hopefully learn about how his transition was from north to south, and to see his fantastic family of birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
