me myself i would say 20-30 ybs! i have 29  ;D so not bad

[lawrie]

the bird losses seem to be high this year, 30+ sounds good to me. thanks

[adam owen]

30ybs is a good team u may loose afew off the loft and training so u cud av a team of 24 25 to race should be ample

[lawrie]

do you recomend that the first birds you get should be kept for stock?

[adam owen]

no mate u could end up breeding from rubbish try them first see wat they can do when you start getting winners then use them 4 stock

[lawrie]

im not racing till next year once i have a big enough team.

mine will be a team of 40 ybs this season as just starting and want to make sure still have some left at end of it .
