Tony,

 

How many YB did you start with and how are you doing with losses?

 

I generally start the young bird season with 30 and finish with between 5 or 10.

Just keep the best no point breeding from duffers

I'll get some pics up but I don't think I'll be racing, maybe send to Yeovil third from last race.

 

Hi Arborist you need to get a few races into em as young birds or you stand a good chance of losing em as yearlings

Win canton was the nearest to me at about 80 miles but has been moved to Yeovil which is a bit further.

 

The Yeovil race is in two weeks and I have only started training today, have I got time to get them going?

You should try to take em every day or as often as you can. Mine get 5 @ 10mile, 5@ 20 mile, 5@ 35 mile with a few single or double ups so they learn to navigate solo and then take em as far as you can 50, 60 or 70 mile. Does your club/fed have a training van/trailer? Ours charge 20p a pigeon they take em as far as we want
