How many lost..........?

There is nothing wrong with being obsessive especially about eyes as i like this subject too mate

records dont take long, i always carry a small note pad in pocket jot things down, then put all info on wordpad/notepad on pc, you can change things no mess

i started off with 49 young birds lost some training off loft top and racing ,but i learn by my mistakes as it was my first season racing and i lost 3 cross hanted old cocks raced all the way to lille

hi glen, this too was my first year racing........went a bit pear shaped mind, but as you point out we learn from our mistakes, did you have them on the dark system this year ?

no david they were on more like the semi dark ,it just seemed to drop one are two every training chuck ,i start off from 5mile 4 chucks then 10 mile 4 chucks then 15 ,25 then all the way down to about 45 mile when they came they came well the last two i dropped were from the young bird nat the two i two birded they were always in my top 4 every race but shite happens lol

i seemed to loose more ybs from 5 miles than i did from 35 miles for some reason, weather its because the rubbish went early i dont know but it does always seem to be the ones you think are the best which get lost.......altho i have had a couple hit wires, one which did came back 5 weeks later covered in mud.

ive just got one cock back on monday nite from 4 weeks ago not in a bad way so put into my second end with the rest of the young cocks i had 8 box's to fill and that made it the 8 one so i have 16 cocks and 8 hens for next year and orderd 50 rings ,bring it on next year i say lol

so will you be racing widowhood, natural or roundabout glen ? ive only got 8, 2010 cocks which have trained/raced and 2 which were too young so i might have to give them some training over the winter............and as i dont have any old bird team these will be my full team of widowhood cocks next year. so with thses only being able to breed a few ybs next year before going on widowhood and only having 4 stock pairs ill be happy to breed 20 - 30 2011 ybs.
