Best wind ups for under performing racers

What's your best wind ups for under performing racers.

This week I showed a cock he's hen for 3 hours Monday night, then put him in the empty section next door, he's been hitting the window for 3 days desperate to get back to his box.
Let's see if he shapes up this week, he's bouncing with fitness spinning round on the floor when I go in and grabbing my hand when I feed him, I think he's angry with me.

Boosey if he can't see his hen come Friday night place the hen and another cock in the bow box then leave him a few minutes  no contact

Come Saturday when he returns let him fight the cock bird remove the other cock to show him he's the winner see if that helps

I got 2 hens paired they are sitting on the floor in a bowl ...I added a extra egg last night and another tonight so they will be sitting 4 eggs now ...they were both in the bowl tonight

Daz keep placing the eggs under both Hens if you have plastic eggs if you can get hold of a few maggots place them in the centre this will feel like they are chipping

If you can place another 4 eggs under the hens they will do anything to keep them covered

Don't forget I KNOW NOTHING

all my cocks are pairing up, ive a loft full of pooooofters............

cheers don ...i got a fertile egg under them just the 1 from another pair but not due to hatch for 11 days if all goes well i will let the hens rear the 1 yb

Daz why not place another bowl in the box and place an egg in it

See if one of the Hen's would sit the egg then do the same keep placing eggs under both Hen's but each day move the bowls closer together until they are next to each other

JMO I KNOW NOTHING

thing is don they be sitting 24 hours with a bowl each but it looks like another pair of hens might be going down so i may play that trick with them for my first ever channel race next week ...no boxes don they have paired on the floor which is even better as i could just gradually move the bowl closer across the floor

Daz if they are already sitting on bowls why not place extra eggs under each hen so that they are sitting about 8-10 eggs each, doing this they will get very keen mate JMO

That's OK After what I've seen here you should sign them all up as new members.

i may just up the game next week don if the channel looks good for a race next week

My wind up worked, 3rd club this week, and because I've been last every week everyone nearly snapped my hand off when I mentioned a side bet, so £12 extra in the back pocket

12 pound Could be enough etc to get a bit of insulation/sound proofing in some of your walls there   .

I have a particular cock who only tends to race if his hen is going to lay so if hes driving her he will win and has won lots of cards, so because Im a natural racer he needs motivation all the time as sitting eggs hes crap.

What I do is when I see him starting to drive, she is removed from the loft and I lock him in the box, every time he exercises morning and night I put her back in the loft and he is with her for about10minutes, so after flying he comes in and shes there, this way he doesn't know if she has layed and keeps him driving her, it works very well for a while.

Hi Martyn that interesting as that's the same type of method used by the lads up north use with there milers
