Hens

[ally mac]

Was with the birds in the loft today and realised its mostly cocks that have suffered the odd loss in training and getting back injured. Only 1 hen injured but 2 cocks and another 2 missing. Also ended up with hens doing better than cocks last year.

 

Has anyone else experienced the same or is it just coincidence?

Hens did better than cocks in racing and lost a lot fewer hens especially in the longer races

 

Only had injuries in the last old bird race

Interesting, I was just wondering if hens, being a wee bit smaller, were more agile and maybe better able to avoid percy?

i think if that was the case ally our huts would be full of hens and not so many cocks i think it evens its self out just the same some years you seem to breed more hens than cocks then the next year it evens its self out JMO
