[budgie]

With the countdown to mating for some not far away would you pair up birds on frozen dark days.

Will try but prepared for long wait wae old stock and young hens

[Diamond dave]

Yup, birds have been split for about 4 weeks now and they will go back together in about another 3 weeks. Its a waste of time messing about with young hens, or trying to change pairings. Only previously paired birds will lay out without any problems but then you must be prepared for about 25% infertile eggs - you just have to hope its not your best pairs.
