Breeding Before Yb Season

[Mattydoos79]

Hi peeps me again, I have question which is I have 18 young birds for racing but I think it's not enough can I breed more from my old birds again? All my birds just been vaccinated for pmv, could future babies compete without being vaccinated or must be done? I know the season starts in July so I use my 18 but could late babies be fine for later in the year or best for next year old bird racing?

 

Cheers I know it's lots but I'm still learning

Thank you I hope my 18 do well and come home I have fear of losing them

U and everybody else,if u have 6 left after a seasons racing your doing well.

There is little chance anything bred now will race this year. The earliest young birds can be trained is from about 10 weeks old, unless you have a short come back race in September they would be thrown away.

Then if those 6 comes back I breed those next year for hopefully good doos

Good luck with them.

My advice....Get your old birds split now, so they can have a good moult.

Concentrate on your 18 youngsters. Put your effort into these. By now, you should have started their training, so keep that ticking over where weather permits ! A big team of youngsters, for a novice like yourself, could be a bigger hindrance. Don't fall into one of the many 'traps' where you think more is better. If you can start racing with a team of 18 well trained youngsters, you should get plenty of enjoyment this year. Best of luck. P.
