Re: Curtains for lofts

Hi all,

 

Thanks for all your answers and suggestions.

I finished work at 4am this morning so it was just about dusk when I got home so I figured I'll have a go at basketing them while its dark(ish)

 

Worked a treat, I got 26 birds into 2  baskets in 4 mins and only took that long cuz a couple were sitting on a basket and flew off when I opened it.

 

So, my next question is: being Saturday I have been told not to let young uns out cuz of them getting caught up with race birds and having just had a 360 mile round trip to Hartlepool to fetch one back I can see the sense of that.  So I am thinking now I got them trapped maybe keep them in baskets till tomorrow morning  to get them used to longer stays in a box?  Is that too long? They have had shorter stays in baskets already but Im thinking if they ever get held over maybe they will handle it better if they have had a few longer sessions.

I have 13 birds in each basket and they dont seem cramped although I wouldn't be happy putting too many more in them.

 

Thanks for looking and any advice you have.

 

Good luck today !!!
