Training yet

[NeilA]

You're looking at a NE wind on Saturday Neil - which I know you need like a hole in the head

The only plus I can offer you is that it does look very very light

Bugger
It seems it’s been stuck with a form of East for weeks now

[MIL]

Well, the only thing I can say really is to concentrate on those factors within your control

If you chose not to send because there's East in the wind then you could miss 1/2 the season the way the winds now present themselves

crap today 18 min same trip
2 strays on the shed and my 2 celibacy cocks chasing the stray hen when I got home
So that’s not gone to plan at all a min longer and the poor trap by two of the three unpaired cocks now these two haven’t taken territory the same as the other unpaired cock who was in his box
I think I over fed a little on a slightly different feeding idea I had which I will go back to at another time
I should have tweaked it 2 weeks ago not played about Friday to Sunday

Hi Neil if you were at home more would you not train as much. And do you still train them when racing starts or do you exercise them round home cheers jack

Hello Jack
I normally train Mondays only in the season ,so they are back on my line and what ever line they took Saturday is taken out of there heads
Currently I am training each night but it’s not easy I was in work 7am home basket train as it’s pre season I have to put it in there heads out the basket no circle straight home if I can
Ideally I would loft fly morning train evenings , that’s how I do my ybs and think it works well

Hi Neil yes good idea putting them back on line never thought of that cheers jack

I live off the drag so just started doing that Mondays a few years back
Not sure if it makes a difference but it makes me feel better I did it

I wouldn't get too upset about it Neil. Two strays on your shed possibly means they clashed and gone for a wander for a minute. I'd see if they come home well next time before worrying about it too much.
Good to see you are getting the work into them now.

I agree. It's keeping the imprinting strong.
