Once my birds reach the stock loft, they never go back in the air unless they don't work out as breeders. I have lost way too many good birds showing friends or visitors how good a stock bird is in the air. Invariably, that is the one the BOP takes when you do it.

I learn the hard way that's why I have none of my breeders today ,now I fight the temptation ..never fly the bird that will produce for you the goods like Joe said "that is the one the BOP takes when you do it"

I unlike many, refly birds after breeding from them. Often I will pull in a birds after WC fly, breed it through summer, and have it back in the kit ready for NBRC fly. It takes usually about 1 month for it to regain its former condition to perform. It works out well, as I shut off all my breeding about first of Aug. We fly NBRC in early Oct. Re-flying a birdd from stock pen tells me alot about the birds character and constitution. After being bred from and re-flown a couple of times, if its still worthy, it is then retired to stock permanently.

Jon,
Understand what you are saying, but I fly my birds out for at least 2 full years before I stock them so I have a pretty good idea about he birds ability and character. I've learned from my losses over time and like Ralph I have learned to fight the urge to fly them again. I lost a bird this week that I should have pulled for stock last fall and I have been regretting it since last Thursday.
Regards,
