| You should try once a day , in the afternoon, but let them loft fly first, then they will be hungry , entering would be quick, make this a routine , and i'll bet they will enter more quick after a race. |

| how much food do you give ian...and do you just feed a small amount on the morning feed and the rest in a main meal later in the day? i saw a dvd where the fancier gave a small amout of seed before he exercised in the morning to make them fly better, dont know if it would work for everyone though...  |

| Hi Ian
If the next time you know it is going to be a fast race give the birds nothing after friday's morning feed as come saturday they will hit the back of the pen
But if the race is going to be hard then feed them on the friday evening as they will need the energy from the food
Its all about just getting the balance right yes i have made the same mistakes |
