2 more days until my first ever Old bird + yearling Racing seasons starts. No experience with old birds yet maximum effort and trust. The small team of 10 hen's is looking very sharp and in great shape. Started to loose their down feathers at the start of the week which i been told is a good sign and their droppings look perfect. All of them were checked by a vet and they have no canker or any other type of disease. Its gonna be a tough race the winds are really not doing us a favor but there is no space for excuses in the sport. 862 Pigeons gonna be participating on about 120 miles. Now its a matter of if i can continue my success that ive been having the past 3 years with young bird racing with yearlings aswell.

Very exciting, Leon.
You will be looking forward to it and I am sure they will do well.
However, if the hens are not quite as close on their first fly, try not to worry. It's only the first race for the season. They will be fine!

Good luck Leon hope they do well for you

Good luck with this weekend Leon. Hope all goes well for you. Yes plenty of down feathers is a good thing.

Good luck Leon, have a little faith mate, I'm sure they won't let you down.
I look forward to hearing how it goes.
