| mine are out only once a day at the moment, no flagging, if they want to fly they can, as soon as its light enough in the mornings before i go to work they will then go out twice aday, 3 weeks before 1st race they will be paired back up, will train them 10 days before 1st race, also when they go to first race they will be sitting eggs, which will be removed once they are away Ken |
