Same, same & especially those of the pink brigade etc .

now you mention the pink gang knackered, are you racing this weekend...?

I have to pass on this weekends race. Intermittent training usually same results. They are n my opinion just not ready. Obviously they know the way home. Most of them, anyway. Weather forecast not good so erred on the side of caution. They need in my opinion, more training. They feel too heavy. Why lose them now instead of later? Most pigeons, like humans, use only 10% of their brain capacity or less. Unfortunately one cannot see into the brain to know which ones are more gifted. All pigeons are equal. Just some pigeons are more equal than others.

we got 6 out 7 late bred first bird again bit behind I would have thought but they all came well couple of mins from first to last apart from the one that's away

26 out of 28 off the pace tho, happy enough

Good luck with getting them all back.

Does make one think though - if the hens can find their way home, why can't the cocks?
