Planned are 6 realistically happening probaly 5 this combine never manages to stick to the plan because people aren't ready with their yb's yet and then everything gets delayed by 1-2 weeks just for a few people

I think so far so good. Personal training is done now lost about 14 birds on training and on the house the past 2 months from 104.
Pretty pleased with that but the real deal begins tomorrow. We had about 10 personal road trainings less then we usually do So i expect more losses on the races then usually
We tend to loose about 30% of our birds already training but on the races not even loose 5 all together but atleast i think this year will be a bit more just due to less road training
But im pleased they are in good shape well trained only worried about trapping the cocks since we seperate the yb's the cocks have so much energy and motivation last road training we did with a few lads they arrived home and went missing again for 1h and didn't wanna get inside. So yeah thats my only worry for the first race that they are actually in to good shape for the short distance and blow either over or wont trap properly but that can be dealt with by not feeding them on basketing day if need be

21.07.2026

Feeding: 33% Mifuma Relax 33% Mifuma Reise Light 33% Mifuma Power mix

Suppelents: Turbo RR in water

Training: 28 Mile Training with combine

Note: Had a good training today with the combine. On first drop about 60-65 trapped within 30-45 seconds. 10 stayed on the roof for 1-2 more minutes. had 78/86 home from the get go. Most others had about half of their birds so seems like i got them in good shape. Have 83/86 at home now 2 hours after the first drop. If the last few return thats good if not so be it. As i said yesterday starting today gonna feed this mixture until sunday so they adjust fully to the new base of the feed which is Reise light a very light racing mixture which is the foundation of my mixture for the races. Start of the week Mifuma Relax With Reise light for 3 days. 1 day Only Reise light 3 days Reise light + Power Mix that is what my racing mixture will look like starting probaly next monday. So far so good with the 4 birds i left home and didnt train today due to them beeing late returns from the last few trainings got 87 yb's at the moment for the first race. But we will atleast have 1 more training with the combine if not 2 before the race so alot can still change on those numbers

Went well Leon, hope others get back home

Feeding: 33% Mifuma Relax 33% Mifuma Reise Light 33% Mifuma Power mix

Suppelents: Vitalo Top + Carni Speed in water

Training: Rest day

Note: Had a good training Yesterday with the whole combine this time. 42/84 birds home on first drop 20 minutes later 78/84. Rest besides 1 showed up through the day.
Most people decided not to basket today again for tomorrow training so did we. Seems like basketing monday for tuesday will be the last training from about 50 miles.
Feeding stays as stated like this until sunday. Supplements Vitalo top for digestive system carni speed for form. They will get carni speed from now on 4-5x a week in the drinker.
Not much more to say birds are in top shape i just hope the weather holds up so the first race can take place on the 1st because it seems like a heat wave is comming so it might get delayed

Your youngsters are doing well Leon, another good report of your feeding and training. You will have them tuned up for the first race mate.
