Re: Hens vs cocks
I think if you are very limited on time then hens are fantastic
Honest, need little to no motivation and are super consistent
If you have the time and are dedicated then cocks are brilliant to play games with and motivate
I always have believed that your best hen is better than your worst ...

Re: Finding that bit extra
Thanks for that Harry.
So, let's get down to it - and I'll try not to offend because I come from a good place in wanting you to improve. Sometimes it's easier for me to be blunt as opposed to fannying around though. So, the competition you race against is good. I've raced against Sherwood & Jones ...

Re: Finding that bit extra
Did the instructions say 1-2 days
