"All" to see new video's as they come available, Thanks!
enjoyed your videos, hope all goes well with the youngster! if your youngster have a good apatite before letting them out before the net comes off you so be ok 😀 wish you health and success with it 😁 love your enthusiasm cavender 🙌keep at it
Thank you Sir.
I would recommend possibly using a little barely in their diet. Just to keep them lighter but still have the energy to fly home. I have heard many racers that use 25% barley in their feed and they are at the top of the list almost every week. Glad to see that you’re still racing them. That’s the best way to learn. Good luck on future races!
Thanks for the tip.
"Don't come over here" made me chuckle. 😆Congrats on getting 1 in the top 10%
Thanks....It was a very hard race.
Thanks for the update! Yeah, we all have that dilemma with YBs: never have enough room to separate them into different age groups, and you don't want to put them in one large group and risk losing younger ones. Besides, hawks can just grab one with their eyes closed when the YBs are let out in a large group. That's the problem I'm facing now: still have 60+ YBs in one loft and I need to let them out soon before they become too strong and fly away. Anyway, that's part of pigeon racing. Good luck with YB and OB!
Yes Sir, I'm still trying to figure out what to do so I can keep flying in the old bird races and train the young birds...dilemma's, dilemma's...Lol.
U may want to give a few to club members and see how they do
These are my old birds that I am racing.
When I started I only had one loft and it was a mess, i was getting young and old birds mixed up and everything else. You need at least four sections to race and be able to separate the sexes. Make sure you begin training before they get too old or they just become homers instead of racers, 10 weeks for road training is a good rule of thumb, and they should be routing for an hour per day a week or two before then. With such a small team of old birds its hard to compete, Frank Mclaughlin wins with celibate hens so you might check out his videos. Good luck!
Yes Sir, Thanks for the advise.
@@cavenderloft No problem, not racing right now but would be happy to share anything ive learned, just love talking pigeons.
Are you saying you have too ,any birds.
No, I don't think you can ever have to many birds Lol.
@@cavenderloft lol that i agree with. i had to watch a few of your videos to get caught up
@@Jmb905 Well thanks for watching, I've been watching your channel since you started it.
@@cavenderloft Thank you sir we are trying to grow it. You can delete this comment if you want but the Guthrie race will be posted later today
125 miles isn't a hard race.. The birds just didn't perform good.. You did get one good clocking though, so that's a good thing.. There's always next week. That's what makes it fun. What kind of racing prep are you doing for them leading up to basketing? Are they getting any kind of 'special' things for the last 3 days of the week to get them pumped up and ready to rock n roll on the weekend? What kind of training are you doing in the middle of the week leading up to the races? It all goes hand in hand with how they will do during the race..
Nothing special...I give them 36 mile toss 3 times a week; 1- 26 mile toss that's pretty much it...I need a loft to race old birds out of and use some type of a system ...I probably should not have raced them until I had a loft for them.
@@cavenderloft .. I don't know what you mean when you say the birds felt light.. They aren't supposed to feel heavy. It's the heavy ones that shouldn't be going to the race. They should feel light and "corky" in the hand. That's how you want them to feel. Heavy feeling is not good. How and what to feed them as well as added supplements in their diet while leading up to race day is an art.. If and when a person masters that art, they will be unstoppable on race day, providing they have good blood in their birds to start with..
Your birds are not racing because of the way your feeding them I’d say
Feed to win not feed to come home I was always taught
What does that mean?
I'm not as big of a fan of OB'S racing, not as exciting for me as YB'S but I still enjoy it. I too don't have the room to race Widowhood.
Some races are tougher than others, but you still did ok 👍
Thanks buddy.
@@cavenderloft
The mix of food that your feeding and how much you give them is the most important
Saturday through to Wednesday morning feed a light mix mainly barley
All they can eat for 5 minutes then take the food away
Wednesday night Thursday and Friday morning feed a high energy mix
No food Friday evening before basketing (if your birds go to the race on the Friday night that is)
On return from race back to the light mix mainly barley
Repeat all the way through old birds season
Motivation!
All males should have a breeding box that is his box hens should be kept separate
every time the cocks or hens enter any kind of basket weather it be racing or training they must always see each other and spend 30 minutes together on return
Put garlic infused sunflower oil on there food Tuesday and Thursdays and apple cider vinegar in the water on a Wednesday and Thursday Every week
Treat for cocci canker and worms every 5 weeks by tablet as a preventative
And respiratory with nose drops every 6 weeks through racing
Thanks for info.
