Hi all I’m weaning my 2nd round this weekend going into early next week
These are about 3 weeks later than I normally have the 2nd round due to circumstances at the start of the year
we start racing on the 1st week of August
I do like to get about 20 trainers min into the birds at about 15-20 miles plus a few shorter ones
So really I have to train 2nd week of July
How would members go about this with limited time for the birds to roam prior to training
Say they start going out on the 5th of June so there’s about 5 weeks to play with
My last 2 go in this Sunday Neil,,from now until 3 weeks before first race they go in basket on a Sunday and liberated first time garden then bit further until I'm in next village this is done before they loft fly and during the stage they batch and fly , no matter what 3 weeks before first race on a Sunday they get 6 tosses at 1 mile bk to handful of food no more ,,2nd day 4 miles 3rd 4th 5th day all 4 Miles and all directions 6th toss is 8 miles they stay here until there cutting the grass on way back then once at 15,16 Miles I don't go further there here 2x aday then only time I go further is on communal trainer with every one pal this Yr my baby's will be between 12,16 weeks old at first race gone through body moult because I darkness them 6 weeks and unless they go unwell they will see the full programme.
