Back down to earth

After my recent good run of form, i thought things were easy in this game,went from 1st club,1stfed to last , my birds dont like blow homes obviously . Going from Wincanton again this week , do i change anything?

No mate stick to it in blow homes some strange things happen, see how they do when they have a normal day again, 1 result dont mean your doing anything wrong

their vitality around the loft should be a pointer as to if anythings wrong ybs need day to day management as 24 hours can turn around things and they are mixing with other birds now in the race panniers ...i would not change anything as far as routine is concerned like exercise and feed times but precautions need to be taken on race return

Birds were spooked coming back,wincanton well known for hawks, gave them post race additives and checked them over,droppings ok, but dropping feathers now

Spot on Daz

The one thing i will say it you will have races were you are on top of everything then the following week rock bottom

This is what makes this sport the ups and downs

good advice,thanks all, happy flying

You cant win em all pigeon you got to take the ups and downs, thats the learning process its hard but you will find it will in the end do you good,if you could win them all it would get boring, try to think if you done one little thing different was it the weather was it you I no you get some birds that wont or cant fly, but 9 times out of ten its the fancier thats done some thing wrong, Chin up

It's easy to handle success mate, but it's how you cope when you are not winning is the key.
If you have won a couple then there's nothing wrong with your system. Just don't lose your composure and start changing everything.
Some birds favour certain conditions whereas others can't tolerate them.
Like others have said stick with it mate.
Best of luck.
