Flying Together

[Mattydoos79]

Got question is can old birds go along with young birds when out flying round the loft? But then they both live in different lofts will they know which Ines to go into. I have so far always fly them separately.

 

Thanks

Your old birds should be moulting Mathew,plenty rest and baths,we are hovering feathers twice a day,in the corridor,

That's what I thought they are doing it's heaps of feathers lol but they have eggs in nest will that not bother the molting?

Eggs in the bin,spilt them ,plenty baths let them have a good moult,

So I should keep the cocks in the nestbox loft and the hens in the young bird loft?

Matthew just keep cocks in there section with nest boxs so they can claim a box for next years ybs and hens in another section if u have one for them or just put them mixed we ybs until u decide what yor doing ie get a little shed for ybs only or hens depending on how many birds u have ie stock and race birds keep up the good work matthew everydays a new learning basis we the doos even old men who have had them over 50yrs iin there own words say they are still learning something new about the sport hope all works out fine for you matthew ABT kenny

I have a free section in the young bird loft I will convert it for the hens to live in there

Matthew a tip when your old birds moulting put a cardboard box in a corner with the lid cut off and most of the feathers will end up inside the box and put some hemp seeds in there feed once or twice a week it helps in the most all the best in rest of the young bird racing
