alex young Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I wean mine off early but 22-24days seems to suit most fanciers.

mattsmith Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 Ok everyone thanks for the feedback
OLDYELLOW Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 some birds vary so there's no set age to remove them i find if there leaving the nest bowl its time to put a feed pot in as soon as there eating they can be moved at this stage they normally have most of the under wing minus a few feathers to complete the wing i think 24 to 28 days is about average but does differ in strains , but i feel you need to make weaning as stress free on the ybs and best way is to ensure feeding first , then you know there ready to look after themselves
blaz Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 when you see them eating and drinking from pots in nest box.myself for this year for 1st time i am not moving any off my own yb,s away from parents. all with fly and race to secsion or loft they where bred in.

OLDYELLOW Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 i remove mine at 19 to 21 in most cases have done 21 days in the past but i think 24 days is nearer my move time
