hi mark, i know that ken(friendslofts and ray(peel bros) fly roundabout and i would emagine they would be happy to give you advise on this system.........

i think its similar to widowhood just a few minutes, after training/racing, but im not 100% sure, trying it myself next year

mark, i think wether you just let them see each other or leave them together for a while is up to you.....as with standard widowood all fanciers have different methods to motivate the birds before basketing......some let them together for time before basketing to tread the hens etc, whereas we would have the hen in the nestbox and when we let the cock into her we would pick him up so they couldnt mate....so like i say everyone has different ideas on this sort of thing..............
