Hope theres some winners inside!

I paired up on 20th, odd hen laid in 10 days and some im still waiting for! =P

[ghostrider]

know the feeling,saying that ive a few new stockbirds..svr,cuesters.

im letting a pair out a box at a time,some leading straw in...MOST cant be bothered

left to it i think they would prefur a bare nest bowl

i stick the lights on 6.30 first thing,wake em up get them active

Ghost how long did you leave the lights on before pairing? In winter breeding I've found lights and the hens being the right weight a must, to get them laying between 7-10 days. If not enough light and slightly fat, they will go ten days and over.

[ghostrider]

lights...10 days before pairing,

2 weeks of barley,before pairing.

still a tad overweight on pairing.

my fault,for the delay,should have been on the barley earlier

 

thanks.
