Sounds good, Neil.
The cocks having an open trap and going in and out, buzzing around, they'll get themselves surprisingly fit.
I hope the hawks find something else to annoy.
Greetings from the land down under. :D

Widowhood cocks paired and on open hole at the moment so hopefully will fly themselves fit without having to worry about to much basket work.
Soon be time Steve
Yes, I almost started to get excited but then saw the weather forecast for the week.

Not a great night but I got the cocks out
No more hanging about the loft or trying to get on the grass from now that upset me yesterday
Only put them up in the air for 45 min then dropped them as it seemed cold I think they would have gone on but I thought that will do only there 5th time out since September
That’s the start of the routine just need some weather like we had the weekend
It’s strange have a team of 99 per cent yearlings all a bit unknown could all be crap knowing my luck

Or it could be your best season ever :D
I'm keen on yearlings. Full of the zest of youth.

As you know Neil canker lives and breeds in the gut, so harder to detect. The yellow mucus in the throat are advanced stages of canker
You can spot a pigeon with cocci or respiratory from 10 feet but less so with canker

Off to explore Bonaire, catch you later
