Mostly on last flight. Had a great moult this year compared to others. Look forward to the breedin now maybe about feb for the first time in at least 15 years

[Guest Pearse]

all mine pushing up there last one now i had one with 5 to go but binned it

[JohnQuinn]

The vast majority of my lot are through it with only one or two still on their last flight. I'm going back Natural next season and won't pair up until mid/end February. I find trying to be at the lofts to darken them at night a real pain in the rear and my young bird results are not important to me, so back to basics with them for me.
