I think so as well ,thanks for your comment 👍

Thank you my friend. I hope all is well 🕊

[@alanjpoole7274]

Pretty Good, and they are trapping quite well too. Not many of the chocolates have arrived then.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I am missing 2 black eagles this time around but another loft upstate is holding onto one of mine for me. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@Hajdi-qg2oh]

Greate job!! Now I cannot wait for next year when all team fly together as adults birds :) Like always hello from London.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I look forward to that as well my friend thanks for your support 👍

[@burakloft568]

Good job Mike. It lot hard for you on short races. You do little better once they get longer races.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I hope so my friend but it’s fun to see how they learn and progress

[@burakloft568]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons yes I would agree. Some lean faster than other

[@watkinspigeonloft6059]

Another excellent video mate fair play, birds coming on nicely for you mind

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thank you for watching and supporting me my friend.

[@quinteroloft9530]

Thanks for the video, always looking for them. It is hard for you to get the birds to split from the others. They had to fly with head wings after that. Good luck next week.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thank you for your thoughts. They keep trying and are learning quickly 👍

[@MaydisLoft]

Birds did very good trapping Mike, nice to see!! Love the colors on the first 2 that clocked for you. Best of luck placing good on the sheet, but most importantly is the returns right now. Like last year, they'll do better from here on out.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes they are still learning and I think about to start catching on. Should go better on longer races 👍🤞

[@ALONE_IN_THE_DARKNESS1107]

You had some result seemed to trap quicker. Good job

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for watching my friend

[@whitehouseloft5205]

The birds are trapping really good. Hopefully you will get the others back as well.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for watching Thomas. BTW I’m waiting for two to finish the molt and then hopefully I can pick a hen for you. Stay safe brother

[@whitehouseloft5205]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons you’re welcome. Sounds good my friend. Same to you as well.

All Came in nicely 👍 good job

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thank you Luck ✌️

[@zorrosracingpigeonloft2148]

Great video, awesome you were able to hatch them all trapping this go around too

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

They sure have come a long way buddy! 😃

[@redstarloft5211]

Im thinking that as the distance increases they’ll do better and better!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes brother, last year it was like that. if you look on the thumbnail for Race two that hen is offspring of one of the birds you sent me. Seems to be a great bird thank you. Next week I will send you some Paloma Blanca.

[@henryb8740]

when mine used to go past, i started singling them up on training tosses to make them think for themselves and stop following the flock, it worked they started coming from the right direction, and finished and trapped really well.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks Henry, I definitely need to do more of that.

[@lesterjohnson5038]

Nice going buddy season is still early the birds will pick up nicely from what i have seen your on a good path .Like the last guy said single toss them you wld benefit trust me .Good luck bro

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks Lester 👍

[@arcee33]

Swainsboro Ga, I am just about 20 minutes from there.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for watching my friend

[@shabbirsha3022]

Traping like thunder…good job birds…

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks my friend ✌️

[@Lewingsloft]

They’re all trapped very fast 👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes when they have a long day they seem to go right in 👍

[@Rcman1223]

Good job man like another comment said I would definitely start braking them down into single tossing them and wait 20 minutes between each one

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I Tried it today and took half the day but I’m sure it’s well worth it. Thanks for your comment

Thanks 🙏

[@tonyhughes8761]

Hi mate u have put nest bowls then mate

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I listen when someone gives me advice, thank you 🙏

[@AdrianP_loft]

Single toss them every change you get. And not this one bird every couple minutes. 1 bird every 15-20 minutes, or pick a road and let a bird out every couple miles that way they’ll be miles and minutes away from each other. Should help tremendously.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for your comment 👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I did it today It only took 4 hours!! But I think you are right it’s well worth it

[@AdrianP_loft]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons It will definitely help, but don’t forget no matter what we do inevitably it’s up to the birds on race day. Pay close attention to the wind direction, it will often dictate your results.

[@kingkongkahn750]

👍🏽

[@phoenixloftfarm5352]

Did the rest of the four birds return home?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

That was the third race and I did receive two of them from a club member at basketing the following week 👍

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Yep, they'll do better when the distance increases. Too many birds in the main group at only 125 miles.. The longer the race, the more strung out they will get and your birds won't be following and will break for home much quicker..

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

That sounds great to me, thanks for your comment 👍

[@kevinnorton7759]

HI MIKE, yes wind and drag have a lot to do with winning young bird races, that is why I preferred old bird racing. An old bird will break where a lot of young birds are follow my leader. I hope you fly them as old birds next year and watch the difference. Personally I would put 12 cocks on the widowhood if you haven't got a lot of time, just give them 6 tosses up to 30 miles before the first race, then all you have to do is let them out for exercise around the loft for the rest of the season, but make sure they don't see any other Pigeons. Alternatively you could use the hens if you think they are better, watch the results you will be surprised. Widowhood cuts the cost of petrol/gas and saves your tyres and engine. Try it out and see True racing is old bird racing and watch them come out of the sky, like lightning. It's up to you. Just a thought. 👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for all the great info brother ✌️

[@ALONE_IN_THE_DARKNESS1107]

Do you guys fly older birds or just young birds. Me and my dad let the Youngs out 3 at a time on the training toss. We do each toss twice and we try not to put the same three bids together on each toss. We are in the middle of the lofts in our club. 4 b4 us 3 behind us.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Our club does fly both old and young but I have not tried old birds yet 2023 will be my first attempt. Best of luck with your racing my friend

[@StratosLoft]

I had a crappy race also I’m the most southern loft on the combine if they fallow the flack they are 150 miles away so is a little hard for me to get good speeds if the wind it has and south in to it any north wind they all come down to my loft . Your numbers are a little low most likely they when with the flack.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

It’s tough for them in the beginning for sure. I think they are learning well now. I hope yours start doing very well for you ✌️

[@tylarstewart4512]

What app do you use?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hey Tyler I’m sure you are talking about the weather app and it’s called Windy. It’s a great app, enjoy

[@mikecrawford73]

Racing is frustrating if cut their feed back starting on wed for Saturday shipping the birds will start racing if your birds follow your over feeding cut your food back and they will start racing and lead try it and see how it works

[@richardbejarano9073]

I n3ver raced pigeons but what is the time in hours

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

That Race was about 2 1/2 hours. Thanks for your comment 👍
