How Many Birds

[scott.]

this is probley a how long is a piece off string question but on average how many birds do you keep, from what ive been reading they seems to be three lots as such young birds, seasoned racers an your stock breeders. how many off each do you like to keep allso im guessing your going to need three different sections to house them in,do any off you not keep stock birds and just breed off your racers, im a total newbie so the questions proberlly sound daft but i just dont know yet.

thanks scott..

Scott, you don't need separate sections, but most do keep them in separate sections. Stock birds are often expensive prisoners and as such require a secure section to prevent escapes. OB racers can be bred from, but because of losses it could be difficult maintaining any type of family / strain. YB's require different treatment from the OB's, so again a separate section can assist.

I am sure more experienced fanciers will be able to enlighten you further.
