I use to write everything down what I fed but 2 years ago I was in hospital from early Monday morning into A and E to 3pm Thursday with a tachycardia ( heart rate 173)
Anyway I had to ask my sister to feed my cocks so they had a ounce of barley once a day no loft flying
I was home about 5pm Thursday so I let them out and fed them ounce and a half gerry plus
On the Saturday I had 1-2-3 club 4-6-7
fed so I thought if I went by my records I would never have fed that way for the week
Made me think instinct week to week maybe better or even luck

🤔 Very interesting mate, thanks for sharing.
As you say, instinct and stockmanship are both crucial in helping to get the best out of our birds.

Few yrs back I was racing I was getting in first 20 of fed each week but the back half of fed I thought I was doing things correctly but when I looked in my diary nothing was precise everything was nearly correct not correct so since then it's super strict n structured each day.
