He is still about it seems ;D
Miss you banter Vic even though it was crap ;D ;D ;D
No problem Lennut, I have been fooled many a time, but the good thing is I am clever enough to learn from it sometimes, not as often as I would like to but enough and more than a lot I know, maybe I need to get out more ;D ;D ;D
One thing for definate, if it lays eggs its a hen
Pigeons I am still learning about but Chickens ???
A good breed of chicken will lay 300 eggs a year some as little as 200. A chicken egg takes 4 weeks to develop, and the shell has 7 layers added to it before it is laid.
If you let the hen sit and brood without taking away the eggs she will stop laying, same happens if you introduce a cock
Found it amazing that there are 28 eggs at different stages inside a chicken over that period
Battery chickens are culled after their second year of laying as they tend to drop in production and then turned into chicken soup, paste and glue
We had a hen still laying at nine
It's a pity the guy your husband got them from cannot enlighten you. I will post some pics to you in the next couple of days of My racers, fantails and rollers and you will see the difference, and compare them to what you have
It might not help but at least it's worth a try
Dovescot
How are you going to do a release business if you are frightened to let them out. ;D ;D ;D
Your adults will be well homed by now, were they not squeakers when you got them.
Wait till the squeakers are self sufficient then at least you will have them, I would let the cocks out just now
Cheers Tammy
£20 for the tickets now were talking
Here is the bottle I will be puting into the raffle or the coin slide as promised
Thanks to 883 girl :'( :'( :'(
Have you had them out flying, you will soon know if they are rollers, the adults that is
Yes regards Amtrak, just get in touch nearer the time and we will sort something out. I will PM you my email address
Hi, have you established they are rollers now, if they are they are not the best of flyers re homing. I can home rollers in a few days as little as two because they have very little homing instict
Logans are a different case all together. I had one in for eight weeks down eggs and chipping, and it still went home when I thought it was safe on the chipping theory.
Like I said if they are rollers that roll then I will do a deal with you on white racers :-/
