seperated youngbirds

have done this for the first time this year since starting up racing , have seperated cocks and hens , let them out seperately find they are excercising much better when i train i chuck cocks first then hens 2 minutes after let them in loft together then i seperate them again has anybody done this on here and how did they do ,

always kept together ian but this year they have paired up very early and are now sitting when the first come off the pot eggs i am going to seperate as i dont want the young hens laying again

this is why i have done this daz , pairing up and wouldnt exrcise properly what a differance now

yes mine are not so eager to exercise but wanted to get some training in before i split just to get the initial stress of training out the way before hand but with the weather this has not realy gone to plan lol i think i will have to split towards the end of this week no matter what atb ian for the season ahead

thanks likewise daz

you will find by letting them go in turn ie cocks first 1 day hens first the next thhat also keeps them guessing where the other is try it ya will be suprised also let them out before you train um

i have had my cocks and hens seprated for 2 weeks now when i train them i let hen up first in bunches of 4 then the cocks in bunches of 4 so when the cocks come home the hens are there so when they go on to widowhood next year they will be exspectiing the hens there on there arrival well thats my idea dont no if it works i no one thing is they cant wait to get in the loft at the moment

Like to try seperating mine this year. I've been training for the past 10 days and my first race is August 18th. I'm thinking of waiting to seperate until two weeks before the first race and then keeping them seperate through the races and just letting them together on each Saturday for a few hours, at least that was suggested to me. I'd like more suggestions if anyone would care to.
