The worry I have is only one bad one where they took a hour but came as one made me think I have followers
But not a lot I can do about it

You'll get a clearer picturw=e of where you're at on Saturday Neil

If they're clearing well then you're half way home

Well done Neil and good luck at the weekend, I hope all your hard work has paid off 🤞

I was hoping to get a couple more in myself this week, but sadly it's not happened :(
So the 15 that are having their first race this weekend will have to go with what they've had.

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!

Blimmy mate, you are having a tough time of it :( there are quite a few down in our Federation that have had all sorts of problems too :?
My trainers have been ok, it's just finding/making the time to take them that I struggle with !!
