gave most freedom for the afternoon , even the new pairings are getting on well .all boxed up tonight ,together ,with the exception of 1 pair the latebred hen who has only ever shown interest in me hopefully they will be a bit sweeter on each other in the morning
ok understood Phil , your absolutely right about nature knowing best . I went back into the stock loft after lunch myself to find the first egg .told Walter Boswell about this line of hens , as soon as they know I am getting ready to pair ,when theyre in , they lay within 5 days , crazy eh
hens were locked in overnight ,plus 1 latebred cock .all out for an hour to eat & drink .of the 11 pairs 6 have new partners ,3 have taken to each other already , the others , well
I didn't Paul in all honesty , yet in previous years have bought wicker ones from P.J.lofts (although imported) and reasonable . if wanted I would look to get "british made" second hand for quality .
