excellent , i believe far better them landing then flying up again for an hour than just circling the house in the air (gliding) .personally i wouldnt flag them anyway.        andy.

Hi All

 

Trying my hand at widowhood for 1st time this year, mailed about it few weeks ago. I have 18 widowhood boxes with 18 cocks, all two year old. I introduced 30 hens so that they could pick and choose, two hens lay in 10 days time, but most hens only 4 days after the 1st two hens. I plan to put cocks on 'dry widowhood', and if I understand it right, it means they do not raise a baby, but eggs are removed, with the hen, after 10 days.

 

But what about hens than lay 4 days later than 1st hens, must I leave then also for 10 days with eggs, or must I remove their eggs and hens together with the two hens that lay 4 days before then?

 

Regards
