It's quite chilly here and overcast, no rain as yet.
Fingers crossed it clears up for you mate and you have a good race.

fine here today, clear skies but slight breeze..........nice enough tho cant complain.

Lovely day here toady, glorious sunshine blue skies

fine and sunny here today gary, but a bit of a wind..........

It's been crap up here the past three days, but today is spot on with a very gentle breeze.

it was lovely here for about 3 or 4 days, then its slowly got worse each day.......altho to be honest its not that bad but the wind is a bit cold......

There's been lots birds going over today, so it looks like there are lots training.

its a lovely day here in the west ...cocks been out this morning now for the hens then ybs i have put my cocks on widow after much thought and having a good look at the programme for racing .....cocks will get 6 races hens 4 as they are only yearlings anyway and will be gearing up to pair the hens around 1st june to have a real good go at the yearling classic with 2 hens that were 1st and 2nd club from the same racepoint last year so fingers crossed i only have 6 cocks and 6 hens to race so will be choosing my races wisely

Hope they do well for you Darren, I'm a big fan of racing hens, I think far too many get wasted. I've had some great results in the past from my hens, in some cases they out performed the cocks.

mine certainly did as ybs especialy when the going got tough and we had a few hard yb races in head winds from 180 and 200 miles the hens were their anyway gaz with such a small set up and wanting to give the birds plenty of loft space i have to race hens and agree they get waisted ,i was talking to a local flyer and he said his widow hens aint seen the sky for 2 years not for me i think if you educate the young hens well then they can be put into a few comeback races then given a stern race so why waiste them jmo atb to you gaz also m8 for the coming season

I'm not a big widowhood fan and to tend to race on a roundabout system, this keeps both sexes on their toes, I only let them play together on basketting days and when the return from races, but I have a mesh door so the both sexes can see each other when I allow them to for extra motivation. This is for youngbirds. But I never have had large old bird teams,and the ones I have had, I have raced on a sort of natural system where they only get put together for the harder longer races. This way nothing gets wasted.
But I prefer youngbird racing to anything else.
Cheers Darren,
I think this season is going to be interesting to say the least mate.
