pjc Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 it depends on what they are fed on and what system you are keeping them on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 The birds will be fed an average type of diet, mixed seeds with additives kept in a loft with lots of fresh air and natural light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doo.racer Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Normally around 6 weeks or so if bred in season. I am aways suspicious if the first flight is not gone by 9 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
