Basket Day

Basket Day, How long do you let Hens and cocks in the boxes before go into the baskets???

[Wiley]

dont let them in boxes they get freedom of the loft depends for the cock to be calm about an hour, if you want your hens much longer

[jimmy white]

birds are all individuals,, what suits one, may not suit another, so i would find out by trial and error , whats the best answer to this [some yearling cocks will race better to the box for a few weeks ,[ if they are of an excitable nature they travel bad and can easy be lost ] i suppose its a case of knowing your birds individually

[Guest TAMMY_1]

fly natural  so they are in boxes till i go to catch them
