Sorry to hear of your sad losses, hope it all improves for you.Winfort Lofts wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:07 pm I feel like giving up on it all tbh! I started with a decent team of 18 young birds.
However doesn't matter where I take them, or what time of day, they getting hit by BOPs.
Took my last two old birds with my remaining two young birds out to 25mile yesterday afternoon, and had just one of the old birds drop in at 7am this morning, fortunately with no injuries but feather missing on both wings!
My B team is yet to even go out the loft!
Where are we at with training

Something else is wrong somewhere matey, no way are you going to get hit every toss from every direction every toss. These BOP are a bloody nuisance only a couple of weeks ago I took my number 1 pick for Thurso for a 20mile spin and she came back with half her tail out
so we all face the same problem, but if I was getting bad tosses every time I'd be looking elsewhere for the problem. Hope things improve for you soon, it's soul destroying when you lose so many birds, and I bet we've all been there.-
