greenbar Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 paired up yesterday and today .going well in 2 of the 3 sections.one section mostly 1st timers, 2 year olds, as we never took 2014 ybs,what would be the pro.s & cons leaving them together all the time.
OLDYELLOW Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Snap pre paired mine last two days may have it cracked by tomorrow 15/ 20 are sorted Definitely don't keep them paired all the time a hen as a limited number of eggs , so you could be wasting future breeding
BIGPETE Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Good on you Greenbar. Hope it all goes well for you and you breed a nice team for 2015 racing. Still getting through your DVD's down here mate (keeping me entertained over Christmas). All the best. Pete

andy Burgess Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 We only just separated our birds yesterday... Babybirds havent been seperated for 2 years now ,although i did take out the bowls and close the boxes last week
paddymac Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Hopefully I'll put a few pairs together next weekend as I'm off work, promised a few friends some Ybs to try this year
eastcoaster Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 My best sprint hen laid 10/16 eggs every season almost every one full , gave her to Geordie Mann this season and she will do same for him , she always laid on 8 th day she was un real . The coopers of international fame sometimes take 5/7 rounds of stock birds ,so how many doo they lay in life time ? Not sure there is a overall limit. Jmo not pairing till February this year , none of racers will be paired until March/April .
yeboah Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 We only just separated our birds yesterday...Not separated my 70 plus yearlings Rab and they are all very contentedThey have all become obsessed with the peanuts from my daughter She will have me in the Pear Hoose lol

Tony C Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Hens only have a certen amount of ova ,don't know how many though.????Yes, when they come out the egg they only have x amount and don't produce anymore. Once they've gone they've gone!
