What system are you thinking of adapting for ob next season.

Judging by my loft lay out and space, or rather lack of it, I am seriously looking at flying on roundabout next year.
I am going to have a cock section, a hens section and then a small yb section at the end. But both the cock and hen sections will be separated by a solid partition.
I have decided that I am only going to keep 10 cocks and 10 hens and am going to move 5 hens over to the stock loft.
These are going to breed my round of early yb and then will be separated.
They will only be allowed to interact with each other on return from training and racing and on day of basketting.
I may swap and change a few things the season progresses, but this is my initial plan

like you gaz i will be flying roundabout after the first three weeks on natural the reason being i will not be able to get my cks out early in the mornings untill the light mornings come in sean

i,ll be doing all roundabout,no widowhood hens at all,maybe just a few spares just incase i lose the odd one..i,ll have more hens to race next season as a result of having plenty to try and i do like racing hens

yes i'm getting on the roundabout bandwagon myself lol having a reasonably small set up and likeing the birds to have plenty space i think its the best way to go ....i have 7 cocks and 7 hens to race and a few others that never raced as yearlings but flew the programme as ybs and these i will keep for the fairweather comeback races after they have reared their ybs

i was going to do roundabout to but iv decided to race widowhood cocks only iv got 19 cocks for this system and its the way i flew them years ago
As this is my first year back in the sport ill fiind it easy to do

We have just bought another loft its 12x6 split in to 3,4ft sections so it will be ideal for roundabout we will see if not we will use it for the youngbirds.
