Guest redlad24 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 paired up boxing day, 20 pairs of racers and 13 stock pairs, 14 pairs of racers are down but only 1 stock pair,
david.j Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 paired 9 pr stock birds yesterday no hurry for racers as not taking any ybs from them
ovy1255 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 paired up early,went down well apart from one hen that broke both legs in 2010 [might have damaged herself inside ]-swaped some eggs and set them away again and have now layed again ,will start to ring the first round tommorow.looks like the wheatgerm did the trick.We only keep a few but prefer early young .will plan for young bird breeder buyers and be able to send the best as i will have what i want already off my best pairs.worth sending to some of these as they pay out a lot ,one to look out for is wrekonton or wrekington[spelling] payed out over 4000 last year,all you need is a bit luck.hope all your pairs take well and all their eggs are full.
