THE HEN ABOVE WAS OUR CLUB CHAMPION YOUNG BIRD FOR 2022 AFTER 9 RACES ..SHE WAS ALWAYS ON THE 1ST DROP..SHE PLACED HIGH ON THE AU ACE AWARDS AND THE AU HALL OF FAME AWARDS IN THE NATION AND IN CALIFORNIA..







WHEN I TRAIN MY YOUNG BIRDS I FILL UP THE FEEDER WITH THEIR RACING MIX AND PUT A SMALL HANDFUL OF PEANUTS ON TOP OF THE FEED..SO THE 1ST BIRDS TRAPPING IN WILL GET THE GOODIES .I ONLY FEED IN THE MORNING WHEN I AM TRAINING...I LEAVE THE FEED IN FOR 1 HOUR AND THEN TAKE OUT ANY FEED THAT IS LEFT....USUALLY BUT NOT ALL THE TIME I WILL GO IN TO THE YOUNG BIRD LOFT IN THE EVENING AND FEED THEM A FEW PEANUTS BY HAND.. IT HELPS TO TAME THEM DOWN..THE YOUNG BIRDS ONCE HOME AND TRAPPED IN TO THE LOFT DO NOT GET OUT UNTIL THE NEXT TRAINING TOSS..NO OPEN LOFT..

ALL MY YOUNG BIRDS WERE VACCINATED FOR PMV AND ROTA VIRUS BEFORE I STARTED TRAINING...I TAKE DROPPINGS FROM ALL MY LOFTS AND TAKE THEM TO A VET BEFORE I START TRAINING.. THIS LETS ME KNOW IF MY COCCI COUNT IS WITHIN REASON FOR HEALTHY BIRDS..AND FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS I HAVE HAD NORMAL COCCI COUNTS SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO TREAT FOR IT...I DID TREAT FOR CANKER AS MY BIRDS WILL BE IN CRATES ON THE TRUCK DRINKING FROM THE SAME WATERS AS THE OTHER BIRDS...I TREAT THE YOUNG BIRDS FOR 7 DAYS STRAIGHT...EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD CANKER FOR CLOSE TO 35 YEARS...I DO NOT USE ANTIBIOTICS AT ALL..THEY SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY...I USED LOTS OF NATURAL HERB S AND VITAMINS WHICH I WILL GET IN TO..
