ch janssen hen,

they look nice y/b all looking healthy david

lovely looking ybs david a credit to you....you say your not doing well but you must be doing something right they look excellent

thanks for the comments, going to try do a video when my daughter shows me how to do it with her camera.........

think hes hood winking us alex there probley doing 4 hours stints ya must have noticed hes been chatting to the high flyer guy alot lol come on dave tell us your on the tippler system aint you lol

wish they were graham, they were flying for an hour easily before going on the dark...about a week or two after they stopped exercising and mainly just fly in ones and twos etc but show no real enthiusiasm for it anymore..........i havnt done anything different and cant understand why, but the ybs did the exact same thing last year and never actually ranged but flew in very tight circles around the loft, im thinking because they never ranged this could be why i lost all but 2 of my yearlings a few weeks ago from 136 miles

i know other members are on the dark and their birds fly great, so im at a lost for the reason.

dont think its the dark david i do know mine dont fly to well if they aint split up

I was told if they do not range, toss them in all directions up to 10 miles. I too would be concerned if none range.

They are really good looking birds.

yes thats true graham, ive had them early bred the other year and they dont want to fly......this is partly why i paired up later this year ....but im seriously thinking that if i continue next year i will just pair up early and leave them natural, mmaybe they will have moulted out more or less anyway.

yes chad, my ybs last year didnt range, yes they went training but thats from A to B so as you say they do need to know the surrounding areas so that if they go way past they might have a bit of a chance to get home maybe.

This is my first year so I dont have proof, but yes that is what im saying I was told to do.
