Race Cocks

Only got 7 to race but they're all on chipping eggs or just chipped babies.

Would love to put them out in this early spring weather but always the odd hawk prowling up the hedges here.

like the blue to the right of centre over the back in the flight ,all looking good though colin all in fine fettle

they look in nice condition colin, if they race as good as they look they will do well ........there will be a few taking notice of them when they go into the race baskets

Nice

Only 7 I couldn't cope with just 7 lol

One bad toss etc Ray & season finished as such . That being said thou I do greatly admire the Barnie types for the faith they tend to place on the shoulders of their small type teams, to then come up trumps somehow in a racing sense come race day.

Totally agree with that for sure , plus with my massive team I have birds for all occasions. Short and middle distance. Head winds , fast days ect ect . Plus half are hens which can go all season, cocks peak for 6 weeks. That's why I pair my team up at different times so they peak at different stages

14 hens to race, 2 paired to one cock so 7 of these hens are feeding babies now then before they lay 2nd round they get taken off with the yb's and the next hens go in but these will be split off after 2 or 3 days before they lay. See how it goes anyway.

Tried that 2 years ago but a disaster for us ...used wrong corn apparently and it was expensive.  But lesson learnt for us
