shweet Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Could anyone tell me what the best date to pair up to have the youngsters for the darkness system is ? Is the earlier the better to pair and get the rings on them as early as possible?

Guest bakes Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 boxingday same as i'll be doing pairing up boxing day all the best.
demolition man Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Out of interest why would you need to put birds on darkness if you pair boxing day because early bred y/birds left natral moult and hold there wings just like darkness youngbirds so don't see the point darking the loft if you pair then.
