we have never done anything with our young birds such as darkness and widowhood or anything else,we just let them fly and grow naturally as nature intended and in doing so we hope that they mature stress free ,well as stress free as is possible

pretty much same here more training for me than racing but if have darkness ybs then certainly worth a go at to get an edge also will help hens out as im not a big lover of ybs laying eggs which they certainly do the earlier bred they are

[just ask me]

just be careful doing anything like that as you can rev them up too much

I split them asap after the darkness curtain is removed. I have a slidin door between the two sections which is opened on friday morn. The two sexs cannot see each other all week!

We split them at around 30 days old.When taken of the darkness they are allowed to pair up and we encourage it with a bale of straw.
