Timed 11 in 2 and a 1/2 min yesterday a mixture of cocks and hens both fed different amounts Friday morning
Cocks 28g hens 10g
Both same high carb feed though

Not sure if that means it didn’t matter what amount they get Friday or did my cocks need the extra fed in error

That’s my thinking no clear evidence either way

Sounds like if the birds are good enough and in good health the feeding makes little difference at the end of the week.

Thanks Andy I think I had 14 in 4 mins so I can’t moan but it’s thrown a curve ball into my prep and theory’s

Even with the different feed I tried this week mine were still a bit off the pace but it is very difficult here to judge properly. I’ll post our race in the Glastonbury topic.

I think it’s hard where you are to beat the wind it’s hard here and your much wider
I think the only way of doing it would be draw lines to your race points ( the 3 most popular) find a point in that where the lines are close then look where your drag is and try to nip them out of that to your line . Easy for me as I’m stuck out a bit but I’m only looking at 4-5 miles off the drag yours is a totally different issue

I don't feed Friday haven't for 15 years
Some times depending distance n speed last feed is Thurs am
Done this with top results to 300 miles on 1100 ypm
I know most who feed Friday n do well as well but iv tryed it n it's not for me
Iv a way of doing things n stick to it,, one thing tho the nutrition they receive after racing to next race is top quality.

I like a bit Friday I just can’t stand overfilling the crop and I can’t feed 10 times a day I get that the digestive process to energy can’t work in 24 hours just my way though

Boom!
Exactly. Some do, some don't. And good pigeons still win races and slow ones don't.
