I had my first egg this evening from one of the 4 new stock cocks, hopefully the others won't be far behind. I wasn't originally going to keep these first ones but am now thinking I might, I'll see how close together the others lay first and will then decide.

Good to see, hope others follow

That’s good then Trev. I think I would keep them if mine. The trouble is if you want 2 or 3 rounds from them you will struggle to get the later ones raced.

I agree with Andy.
If the plan is to improve the team, you need to keep every baby you can get out of them.

Thanks guys

You are right I do need to keep what I can from these birds, I just need to be careful I don't end up with too many youngsters again and also need to be aware of the hawks with having early babies.

All the best Trev, hope all goes well and you breed a nice team of youngsters.

I was in my small shed yesterday feeding the stock birds and found an empty egg shell on the floor, I knew my 2 pairs of Des Coulter birds were sitting eggs but was convinced they were plastic ones

I've only got about 5 pairs on eggs and still managed to miss some lol

I don't mind having them I just didn't want them this early, this poor pair will have to run the gauntlet of 60+ old birds on their own when I wean them, I hope they are big strong birds
