training youngbirds

So i have i got some thing right then?????????????????????

Pigeons are natural flock fliers, so what ur doing with training in smaller batches is educating them to think for them selfs ie break when nearer home rather than staying with the flock
Ken

Your right there Ken

so if possible would it be better to train privately or do they still need the experiance of flying with other birds in a larger group ?

Best to train private but to stop the shock being on a transporter in there first race just give them a few tosses from the transporter before racing

always like to give them experience on the porter

Same here Ian

its a must for youngbirds after they are trained up tho

Yes your right there mate

i never used the porter this year and it did,nt harm mine,never went further than 20 mile but had plenty of them ....twice a day sometimes

ray ive heard that some fanciers train hard with their ybs and they are better for it.......it worked with yours too as you got some good results.

sometimes you have to david,pigeons are lazy if you let them be. they are athletes and need plenty of exercise.

Your right there Little Hen

But if your sprinting then 20 miles everyday some times twice a day is good as long as you give them plenty of food as they are still developing

From Loft in the basket 20 miles straight home,straight in the loft no messing about get them in that routine (bobs your uncle come saturdays straight in)

another thing i have noticed with my young,uns is if they have a hard training toss like mine did in the rain ,which was a mistake by my friend,it took most of them hours some of them 4and a half,they seem better for it as i had a good season with them.it als happened when we trained in the fog once got 8 wins the following season with them ones as well so really what do you do train in bad weather or wait for the good days which to be honest i do with them being young.funny things pigeons

Every now and then if they get a hard training toss it sometimes makes them go into another gear and book there ideas up

yes it sorts them out hard toss

The best are always left

not all the time could still have a few nuggets as we all do

yes some are just homers not racers

yes we have a lot of them when you think about it,they might look the part but crap when racing

yes your right there ray if where all honest about it we have only half a dozen really trying

Spot on there ray
