Hello NeilA, you've done brilliant with them so far, a difficult decision as to whether many will still be in good feather condition.I'm not sure of the weather in your area at the weekend think it's going to be warm .
All the best what ever you decide, results to be proud of with your natural yb.
Regards Dave.

Yes
That east wind seems to be stronger every time I check
But it is what it is I have had a good run all but one strange week which no one in the fed could understand themselves

As long as they still have a reasonable head covering mine will just keep on going, the only thing I don't like is when the ears, nose or neck are too exposed, at the end of the day if they are moulting well it shows they are fit, but at the end of the day we both have different goals Neil so go with your gut mate. No point throwing away decent pigeons if they have nothing more to prove this season, or Dad always used to say "if in doubt, leave it out" unfortunately I never was very good at listening to our Dad so have lost some promising birds by sending them when I shouldn't have done.

Would have liked them to go further really Trev but the fed committee decided to change the race programme for people who hadn’t got the birds ready for the first race so we went 51/83/110
Then repeated it so we are at 110 when it was meant to be 160 tomorrow
I find it frustrating after putting the time in to be ready . I really wanted my hens to go to 160 so I would have more confidence in jumping them next year

Neil
Historically we used to race our YB to Weymouth as YB (148) that was as far as the programme would go
Next stop after that was Rennes at 321. They used to eat it up
Chill - just get em right and they'll sort it no worries
