Hi all just after some advise for my first young bird race. my first young bird race is 100 miles from me. Would you send all your young birds to the first race. How can you tell when a pigeon is fully fit and in form or would it not show untill you race. Is there any reason you would leave a bird at home. Thanks for any help

I would try and get them all in the first race john don't worry about form in ybs if they are flying well enough at home then they will be fit enough ....I only leave injured or moulting ybs at home

We'll be doing the same, all ybs that are training well will be into the first race, but, ours is Chepstow, about 60 miles and we are hoping to have ours trained upto 30/40 miles

my ybs only ever went 12 miles before the first race last year, I took them every day my self, and the first race I would have taken the first 5 places in the club, but im sad to say they wouldn't trap, and sat on the loft roof looking at me.........(club sec lives 2 doors away and ferified this)

I think my problem was that because I trained my self, the birds were home before me, hence they wernt trained to trap properly........ Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

First race for me is 120 miles. Usually I do not send. Reason being there are great numbers of poorly trained birds milling around confused. Will have to send this year though as have too many. 40 plus.

For sure John - I would get them ALL in the first race. If you leave a few behind, it will be harder for them next time. Also, you need to race all your young birds every week if you can, so they all get the same chances and the same experiences.

In my opinion, Training is the key, give them plenty of tosses to get them on-line - don't forget to give them 1 or 2 tosses from the opposite direction, just in case there is a fly-past due to a quick race. and they get taken past your loft.

I know a lot of people only take they Y/B's as far as 25 miles - I took our out to 40 miles and sometime further than that. In the last tow year of me racing before, I won the young bird championship race, was top y/b flyer in my club two years running, normally clock the first 4 birds home every week. I am not say all this to show-off - just to say that my system worked for me at that time, but it may not work for everyone.

Young pigeons are like all young mammals - they can learn a massive amount, and at this stage, it is all about Education! You will loose a few, that is inevitable, but the ones that are left in the loft at the end of the season, will be the best ones!

As has been said before lots of times - "choose a plan and stick to it"

All the very best.
