Bad decision either to send or liberate the birds

[Guest geordiejen]

you'll never breed a good bird if the management is not up to scratch,like everything in life you only get out of it what you put in.unfortunately all of the things mentioned in the post only makes it that more difficult.

If most fanciers looked in the mirror , they would see the problem . Which would save them moaning and blaming everything else.

No 1 for me is breeding 80, 90, 100 young birds, to finish the season with what, 20 at best, who has that many decent stock birds to breed that amount and I know Percy is a major problem but they don't eat that amount

yes bill they dont eat them but they kill one and scatter 500 in the attempt and birds get killed and injured getting out the way .

 

i remember tossing a big team of ybs 80 off 15 years back at 20 miles all had been well schooled , percy hit them straight away and i got none that day they headed south and didint come back i got them reported from dumfreis to licoln carlisle brampton and darfeild in yorshire with the name and address rings on so they obviously didint stop after the strike got a few home over a few days but not many
