Appreciate the help. Cheers Simon murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Should be ready to move around 3 or 4 weeks old, but make sure they are picking from the pot in the nestbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooheed 5 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Like to Wean my youngsters at 25 Days old Pal !! Some lads wean em younger and some older but best to take em away before they start jumping out of the nest boxes onto the floor cos there is a high risk of them being scalped by the cocks in the lower boxes that dominate the floor !!

hotrod Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Get them away at 21 days ,I find if you leave them to their older they can become wildish . And get them out on landing board right away giving them plenty time to have a look of their surroundings .cheers and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
