Think the lofts I know who do it have some one at home n birds are let go 30 mins apart so zero contact ,

I think that’s the only way
Do you think the cocks are just lifted I can’t see them turning a bowl etc or it would be a let down to the cock

My cocks know when it’s Friday I’m sure by feeding and little things that trigger it
Although I do believe the hen is important at home on Saturday others wise it’s just another day for him
He has his box all week it’s different for hens they get the box even if it’s empty
Every system suits hens in my view cocks only system that suits them more than hens is true widowhood
My old dark cock hated it when I started to race his hen blanked for 4 weeks and when you think he had 9 fed cards in the other 15 races it must have upset him

To be honest I got the system right these last 6/7 years for my tine my loft etc so I couldn’t change
I have 2 other systems in my head one used by a ace who doesn’t race now but I don’t have time to run it as a trial against what I do now so to scared to change
