ive been using roundabout for about 5 years now and find its easiest for me and my sis to keep on top of things, a couple of days before basketing when the cocks are out i let them fly to the hens locked in the box and the other way round it keeps them keen, and if i see any of the hens looking to pair up i let the birds together for a day, sometimes remove the blocked off partition so they can see each other through the doweling they go daft trying to get together, keeps them keen, or a training toss cocks flying to hens & the other way, none of it rocket science john

haha yes you could be rite i was only going home for a week this time and the fogs now rolled in all our flights are now on hold, the joys, n like i said the next 24 hours doesnt look like improving here haha , good call holding john
