Roundabout

How much importance to the people who race roundabout put on the hen laying her 2nd round of eggs?

Is it a must they pairs have to be parted before then?

Been ringing our yb's over the last few days and want some ideas

 

Cheers Alan

No fussed about the laying of 2nd round aslong as they are removed early

[geordie1234]

No bothered at all about it...maybe I should...bt i take the hens and ybs away around 18 days

I dont race roundabout, i race total widowhood, if she does lay a 2nd time the eggs are taken away soon as they are laid no sitting a sexond round here

[peter pandy]

Shift the Hens at 12 days and start them on R/About the Cocks and Hens will feed them when in the section.

[aye ready]

Split mine when the first pair to lay their 2nd round are sitting 8 days irrespective of what the rest of the pairs are sitting,the cocks that are sitting eggs are left to sit them till they desert them then all eggs,nesting material etc is removed

Alf I take 2 rounds of youngsters of my roundabout doos and it does them no harm at all still able to race the full programme . Each to their own but when I was motivated the doos flew aswell as anyone else in fed also had some handy national tickets.
