2. How many are you sending?
3. What are the sex of the birds you intend to send?
4. What will be the nest condition of the birds on day of basketing? Wednesday 16th July.

Decided to send 6, 2 cocks and 4 hens, the other cock just doesn,t look good enough tonight, so he will have to wait till next year
4 or 5 to pick from, 1cock & 3 hens cock sitting 12 days at basketting 2 lesbian hens sitting 4 eggs, been slipped 2 small youngsters today, their first of the year 1 4 year old hen 14 day eggs My only predicament is whether to send a 2 year old hen, she was my 3rd bird from Alencon, homing on the Tuesday. Her cock got himsef lost from Hastings the same weekend as Alencon, and I was amazed that when this hen returned from Alencon she went straight on her nest and has sat those eggs tightly for over a week when I gave her a newly hatched y/b and now she is like a demon on that baby, her condition is good, but I am not sure how she is mentally. Do I try and take advantage of this situation or do I put her by for next year? Any advice anyone? Falaise is 601 miles to me, so at least its a short race this time
