As young birds they only had 3 races to 70 miles. this year they had 1 x70 miles 1 x 90 miles and two at 132 miles. I only sent 1 yearling to Dunbar because I wasn't happy with them. Perth to me is 313 miles so they had a 181 mile jump.
Great info
I was worried about jumping the yearling but that’s not a issue for your birds
thank you for the answers

It won't be an issue Neil

Living where we live traditionally the furthest we raced was Weymouth (148 miles)

The next stop after that is would be Rennes (321 miles) or equivaent these days (say Fougeres 330+ miles)

Fit pigeons with their heads screwed on will handle it easy enough.
