parting of stock birds

We normally part them half way through the YB season, as we would have finished breeding by then and want to give the hens a break instead of constantly being driven, sitting etc

as soon as youve finished wanting yb,s off them  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i have found in the past that 3 or 4 younger stock cocks [obviosly flying out ] help keep a w,hood team fresh and on their toes if seperated early [and basketed while cocks are away a race till monday on longer races, sunday in shorter races ] and the stock cocks keep healthier for it

five days before i wean the very last round of the year i part the sexes however such as now i intend pairing in about 23 days time so my hens are gradually being introduced to the cocks i am pairing them too for 2008 as i find it easier when i wan tthem together

My stock birds and racers are in the same sections in the same loft so they all get seperated at the same time - the first weekend after the YB racing ends, mid-September.

 

Don't intend pairing again till Feb / March 2008. Still a long ways off and 2 of the hens have paired up already.  >
