im withyou m8 to fat

2days of water and grit only, gets the internal fat off and grit builds up calcium levels. Should lay in about 8 days after.

have these hens laid for you before?last year maybe or are they new birds?the birds need to be conditioned to the breeding.this time of year there shouldnt be any problems with the hens.

I had two 2yo hens that would not lay either had the same problem with the same pigeons last year were in perfect condition and thats the condition they were in when they departed in the weekly pick up ,waste of 12 months feeding ,No Woman No Cry
