peter pandy Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 With the sky turning Blue and white the last couple of days and the birds feed reduced the Hens have returned to 90 minutes exercise daily in a tight ball with plenty of vigour.I have always when entering the loft in the morning checked out the droppings for firmness and white topped also where they are in the nest boxes as they stand on a wooden block and I expect the manure pile to be next to it and not covering the entire box, When like this then one knows they are not being disturbed when roosting and the environment is as it should be.

peter pandy Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Delivering Xmas presents to my daughter, Findlay, [son in Law] mentioned "stupidly" that as he has not had a day of work this year he would treat himself to a fortnight loafing around the house, That was all I required to shovel in that I had slipped on the floor of the Loft with rain blowing in on the Westerlies making it deadly to Wee Mary, That was all I said and he appeared the following day and rectified the problem by re-installing and converting the window into a fixed louvre which is what I had in the Seventies.. When he had completed the job to our complete satisfaction I mentioned my new Green House and that will be erected when there is no chance of frost to damage the concrete base, I wont push my luck any further till then.. :emoticon-0136-giggle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter pandy Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 In a recent phone conversation with a very good friend he asked when I would be pairing up ?, When I told him the 17th March his reply was that it was too late and do myself a favour,, So the old memory bank was put to use, As if it was yesterday and to be perfectly honest all the top fanciers paired round about St Patrick's Day which is the 17th March this coming year and I will be pairing then..

If you want them to hold flights for a fuller wing then pair them later and limit how many cycles the hens come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter pandy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 With the colony refusing to take a bath this past month the loft has a heavy coating of Bloom, At least I think its Bloom as I have not seen any of the inmates with a brush and tin of white emulsion. With them turning in at least 2 Hrs of unforced exercise I am quite happy regardless of other comments from those who would go against Nature and keep them ensconced within over the Winter period, breeding youngsters instead. Totally Unnatural.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
