thanks everyone, any tips on training for widowhood.

i havnt raced old birds yet since restarting, but when we raced years ago once racing had started we stopped the widowhood cocks training and exercised around the loft twice a day..............

when you let them out to fly don,t hang around the loft
cos if they see you they don,t exercise properly , keep them on a stricked time scale
on feeding and exercise and keep them calm dont disturb them to much
let them rest , if you can feed them in the box and try to have a play fight with them but always let them
think they have won give them a couple of pea nuts as a treat after the evening meal .
cheers kev , pm me if you want

thanks kev, much apreciated.

so if he has clocked the bird first in his loft when actually it was maybe 3rd 4th or 5th or whatever isnt this faulse results in order to sell birds , not getting away from it was a top bird , how many other people do this to sell pigeons

I know were your coming from Ian

yes kev i agree, the w/hood cocks shouldnt be able to see whats going on outside because it will disturb them resting during the week days, the lof shouldnt be dark but maybe a little bit shaded...........
