andy Burgess Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 36 on the darkness (was nearly only 29 today) 7 went missing for hours and came back in 1 and 2s .about 20 in the nest for 2nd round natural .
frank mitch Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 74 youngsters on the darkness, maybe another 30 natural, most ive ever had. Boy can they go through the feeding! Need a 2nd job!
JohnQuinn Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Well i have been true to myself and bred far fewer than in previous years, so right now i have 18 weaned most of which are just taking off around the loft and landing again, and some who are just weaned into the section. At the end of this week i will add about 18/20 to the section and that's it for racing. Will no doubt take some late bred birds but i will curtail their numbers too this season.What i have noticed is my Yb's are leaving the nest with plenty meat on their bones, so it all augurs well for the season ahead
REDROCKET Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 got about 40 transfered into young bird loft al natural this year here's a couple of pics all going well
