Nothing to do with the weather imo.Your first round are on natural darkness, being bred so early and acting like latebreds,( not throwing flights but still renewing body feathers) your 2nd round are just like normal spring ybs, moulting as normal.

If we have rain it means that we keep the doors shut on the front of the loft instead of the wire fronts which are on all the time thru the day if there is no rain or cold wind. When we have poor weather for a few consecutive days the doors are shut, the temp inside goes up and we notice quite a diffo in body feather and flights! Thats what I mean by weather Del. Me and the old boy were just discussing this very thing tonight! spooky lol

 

obviously the wooden doors cut the light aswell

That is in line with my thinking as with all the crap weather and my loft roof sloping to the front and no gutter the splashes wet the floor when wire door is in place so most of the day i have the solid door shut ! but they have access to a small avery at all times.

thanks for reply`s
