OLDYELLOW

Cheers Andy , hens flew and trapped like they were starving ( which they never are ) cocks well they have gone for a bath lol

Well two races I've been training , now stopped , split birds yesterday hens as keen as mustard to trap back to their old section where cocks are . As soon as let out were bombing other section to get back in , so got me golf flag out , now their bombing around loft , cocks moved over to hen section awaiting hens in flag outside traps will be removed when want them in.
