I had thought that I would leave the birds together until the new year so that I could let them all out together whenever the weather was right. But now with the news that all birds must be shut in until further notice I think I will split them this coming weekend. It will mean that I won’t have to worry about throwing eggs away 👍.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

I very rarely get that problem during the winter months. The hens are in the youngbird loft whilst the cocks are in with the nest boxes with the fronts off.

:o :shock: Why in the world would you cut off his tail?

That's the most disturbing thing I have heard in a long time.

Thought it was around the vent area that was clipped George not the tail itself or is that so he can get closer to the hen without the tail pushing him back
Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud :D :D
