Q & A FROM SENIORS
Some Questions and Answers
1# How to determine Inbreeding starts to deteriorate?
one of the warning signs when your inbreeding starts to deteriorate, is the shortening of the 9th and 10th Primary flights. If you place your hand palm down on the table you will see that your small index finger and the next one in is smaller than your middle finger. You can liken these two fingers to the shortening of your 9th and 10th primary flights. It is then time to introduce an unrelated hen with the 7,8,9,&10 flights progressing in length. One can also detect it in the darkening of feather and eye colour.
2# Why yellow eyes match to peal eyes for breeding?
You must always put a yellow to a pearl, the reason being. Two yellows together will give increased stamina and intelligence, but a reduction in speed and vitality. Two pearl eyes together will give increased speed and vitality, but a reduction in intelligence: i.e. Homing Ability. A yellow to a pearl will help to give you a balance of Stamina, Intelligence(homing ability), Speed and Vitality.

5# What to feed on basketing day?
just a light feed of dehusked sun flower in the morning with two eye drops of iodine on a litre of drinking water. This should allow for normal water retention from your birds on the short races.
6# How to slowdown the molting?
Young birds need lots of Barley in their diet to halt the moult of the primaries. It is just the body feathers that needs to moult for young bird racing, I suggest you increase the barley and road work and cut down on the protein to try and slow down the moult of the main flights.
7# When medicating…. Do you recommend pulling the grit and when do you put it back.?
Recommend taking out the grit and salts and returning it 24 hours after cessation of the treatment.
8# Do you place any importance on the length of flights when racing and training?
From the first to the sixth primary flight I pay little or no attention, but for the 7th 8th 9th & 10th, if I had to train or race a bird in this wing condition, I would only send when the flight was missing or was three parts grown with the next flight ready to drop out.
