what size is your loft,

[andyyy]

Id say 20 - 30, If next year you want more have more, but you might decided this number is perfect. its best to have a few more to get you to end of season and to make sure you have some old birds next year. atb, Andy

what size is your loft,

24ft ,8,8 cheers

well u have plenty of room for them i would go for around 40 as its your first season u want some left end of season for next year.

I started last season with thirty odd. My best advise to you would be train them in two seperate teams incase of a bad toss. Also have a few late breds as it gives you something to do in the long winter months!

cheers for replys, thats a good idea of havin 2 teams, thanks

Good post Poppy Loft. He has plenty of room for... too much room I fear. But when breeding next year etc.

too many fanciers breed too many youngsters every year, it is preferable to breed a few good ones.

i order just the 20 rings from the NFC and i dont fill them all.

the more you breed, the more you feed the hawks! dont get lulled in to trying to make up the numbers

[terry mccarthy]

if your first season as many as u can that your loft allows i would say to size of your loft 60 no more
