Roundabout cocks and hens

Yes i hope , 2 weeks ago we raced from Fokestone, most of my pigeons got red noses thru the rain in some city - A fancier from Chester/Birmingham messaged me on Facebook said *Heavy rain* - most pigeons managed to flew thru the heavy rain, most of us had good returns

i sent 8 yearling widowhood cocks last week to 136 miles, this was their first race so had to jump them in............none on the day with 2 coming back the day after, still 6 away which i doubt i will see again........cant understand it.

Did they raced as a yb for every yb programme last year? and how far do you train em this season?

they only had two 56 mile open races as ybs, with approx a couple of hundred birds entered...........this year they must have had approx 12 trainers at 25 miles and one at 50 mile and were coming well.......

To be honest with you, my youngsters went to 3 races last year from Bubwith and two worksop, i wasn't racing youngsters for some reasons but dad done it for me, Lost many ybs last year - This year we have a few yearlings left in my lofts, Folkestone and Rivenhall won for me as a yearling. They need a lot of experienced as a young bird, i got 62 ybs in my lofts, the highest birdage ever i had all will be going from 1st race to last if they are ok , they need a lot of experience mate - Best of luck with birds this year

Sorry to hera about the loss david, that is very strange to have such low returns, especially like you say they trained well, I dont think that they were jumped as they had a 50 mile toss, ive jumped birds in before and had good returns, sorry about that david, cant understand it
