Good thinking etc 99 . Like going to war in some ways, these type of races. When you see how they are filled up with birds from all over the place & the different type germs they all bring with them for company, unfortunately .

YEARLING UPDATE 2021

Good Evening

Sorry i am a few days late updating its been very busy time this end for me and not just with the pigeons i might add.

The 215 yearlings are all fit and well, last week we started to break them out but then having a problem sparrow hawk around and she has been keen to have a go at them i decided to wait until i can be there full time with them while they are breaking out which won’t be until the 15th of February this is also when James my loft assistant will be around full time and they can get the full on guard treatment and our full attention.

The young birds will start to arrive on Wednesday the 17th they will stay in for 10 days or so by that time the Yearlings will be fully broken its only 40 yards from the YB loft and we have done this successfully before so everything will drop into place.

Once fully broken out the yearlings will exercise early mornings one hr each day before the YBS come off the dark system then come May they will exercise twice daily.

I will update in about 10 days time with the latest on the Yearlings or before and will do a little video of them,

Jeremy..

Enjoy your trip there etc O/S while your there thou maybe just suss out if they are planning on doing anything different to last year on the management side scenario to just maybe help this years champions combat the early losses they apparently had .

seems like they are staggering the arrivals in 50 yb batches oz and also giving a second vaccination a week or so after arrival ,ours are arriving 4 weeks earlier than last 2 years so it should give them a better start

hopefully we`ll start getting more regular updates once the loft starts filling up, and they start going out for exercise .........

Suspect so O/S certainly was rather obvious etc last year I suggest when we all saw the photos of those left at the finish for the auction & how many of them differed somewhat in the moult when racing at the time.

yes knackered, good observation........re the moult, darren has bred and delivered ours earlier this year, hopefully we will give those "professionals" a run fortheir money even more.

My thinking also etc David happy to take their last penny here & do it with a   on my face while doing it as such .
