darkening ybs

anyone bothering with it this year...we never last year and wont be again too much hastle besides our best ybs hatched later last year and we just left lights on until 10pm after the longest day ,just wondered who was still darkening with current issues is it even worth it atb

been on it for 2 weeks now, same every year, just edging me bets, if we race at all going to be late on and mine wouldn't make last 2 races of normal schedule without it, never mind having to go into late September

I leave as is. Then lights on 10 hours longest day on. Has worked very well for me.
Dull and rain today, fortunately all is now burnt. But I ache from using the wrecking bar so much, Just happy I can do it!

110 kmph winds forecast for tomorrow. Going to try and race young birds anyway this year so will handle them with that in mind. Open loft couple 20 mile tosses. Regardless of what beliefs there are regarding raptors and white pigeons never had a white or grizzle hit by a raptor. Correction! Hit but escaped. Beleive it is a combination of open loft and the birds observing the attacks on the feral pigeons.
Think I mentioned it before, few years ago. Peregrine dive bombed a red hen she escaped and headed for some trees half mile away. She was faster in a straight flight than the Peregrine. He could not catch her.

wrecking bar my problem is the axe here .

No more aches. Daughter brought some home made ointment. Olive oil, coconut oil and cannabis oil. Worked in minutes! Planting 7 cannabis seeds indoors this morning, spring has to be close!

Are you sue you are not smoking it Hal instead of rubbing it on, in either case glad it worked.

Regards.
