Yes, I preferred to train in the afternoon as 9/10 it was warmer in the afternoon

They'd loft fly in the morning (assuming not wet or damp)

I NEVER let them out in the wet or damp. Does no one any good(

Yearlings were always rewarded with the hen. They never always had contact, but she was always there

You guys are always banging on about routine and timing - so how does a spell of bad weather affect your birds when you dont let em out...?
