You could try giving both sexs a short toss midweek and letting them run together for a few hours once back.NeilA wrote: Tue Jul 23, 2024 10:42 am Normally I only race a few odd hens
But next year I may use them all for races around 250-400 miles
Now I feed my hens light and happy they do a hour a day
For the middle distance races I would think I need a slightly different feed and not do rationed
The hens section has grids and perch’s with dividers ( I didn’t want to box them )
I’m thinking about them going lesbo and these are the hens my cocks race to
I can’t put a decent aviary on that section to shut them out in
Just looking for advice on how to get over the more generous feeding and avoiding them going lesbo
The grids do work and I could slope them if I have to although a pain
How do others get over this problem so tne hens still give the cocks the attention Saturday when they return from sprinting l
