Racing Pigeons - 9th & 10th flight feathers cut? Why?

[yusefhasan]

Thank you. I’m a pre beginner. I don’t even have any loft or birds. But I plan on getting in to the hobby. That’s very good to know. Thank you Xiong

YB season here starts in Sept - Nov . When do you start to clip YB’s 9/10 flights . After that do you use a light system to help birds molt faster . And be ready to train …

Great tip to know for beginners specially. Thanks for sharing

[mohammadjawad]

Thank you very much.
I was searching for a tips video like this one from 2 years.
It was really helpful.
Best wishes from Bangladesh

You're the best thanks for this information all season I have this problem with younger

[NE_Pigeons]

Wow intersting. Any scientific studies behind this approach?

[oconnorlofts]

Thanks for the video. Our young bird season starts in end of July here in Ireland. My young birds are born in the end of December when do you suggest clipping the feathers so they don’t mild and I get the full season out of them. Thank you.

I have tipplers time flying.
and I cut all the feathers on both wings and tail. In mid April and in May first. I pluck them since they get dry. So they have fully grown fully moulted feathers on June 15th maximum. I only do this with adult pigeons. So I can enjoy the whole summer. I know it's a different breed of birds but just thought of sharing it. Is there any racing fanciers that do practice the same thing.?

Good info man. I just clipped my birds flights a couple days ago. They’re still sulking at the moment. 😂

[AskhabovAhmad]

Does that effect training and muscle development?

[stanleysak]

The 9th and 10th flights should be cut lower
( like to 1”above the to wing ) this allow air to dry out those feathers less pain and no fret marks.

[fromireland]

Thanks. How long before race we should pull 9th and 10th feather? And we should pull it during moult or before start of moulting?

[bottle_coke]

If a bird have 11 flights do you clip, 9, 10, and 11th flight?

[yanjijay]

Thnx for teaching us all now wich feathers are the ones if you want them to be located at ur loft for breeding so they can't fly off

[brianfairbrother]

What mouth would you say is best to cut young bird feathers if racing starts about 24 of July

[philipcrews]

Hello Xiong, I"m enjoying your videos, but I"m not on Facebook. How can I contact you with a question about a past video? Thank you.

[Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Can the pigeons still be flown daily after cliping 9 and 10 because only half of my first round are up and we start racing in mid Sept. Also I have them on lights so when is a good time to shut them down in relation to cliping flights. Thanks

[jeffkaptain]

How hard do you need to pull or tug.
I have cut at least the same length as you show here. It's been 3 weeks since I cut and the feathers don't feel like they want to come out.

Have you not heard if the darkening system you darken the loft brings the birds to moult quicker no need to clip wings then birds can still train

[jovaniemoralde]

When/age do you cut the 9th and 10th fight? thanks
