Things are going well so far, I have two sections done now Y/Bs in one main section and stock birds in the middle breeding section, I have another section to work on but this will be next week probably I want to give some time to the Y/Bs now, get them all out and trained to come back in together as I only got the other batch of birds last Thursday I have 18 now in total for Y/Bs all have their ring phone number on so hope this helps if and fly off.
fingers crossed they are all on there best and come back in to the corn and whistle later going to let them out an hour before feeding time

Of course you can try another hen, as I say most things are down to circumstances and preferences

Good luck when you do get them out keep an eye on weather as well as some heavy rain coming inTony-P- wrote: Wed Aug 26, 2026 9:37 amThings are going well so far, I have two sections done now Y/Bs in one main section and stock birds in the middle breeding section, I have another section to work on but this will be next week probably I want to give some time to the Y/Bs now, get them all out and trained to come back in together as I only got the other batch of birds last Thursday I have 18 now in total for Y/Bs all have their ring phone number on so hope this helps if and fly off.

it's sunny here and the older Y/Bs have been out flying from roof to roof for about 45 minutes now the younger ones stayed on the trap or loft roof then back in to safety. hopefully the older birds will be back in soon it'll be feeding time at 5pm

18 Y?Bs out and all 17 are back just waiting on One Bird and I know birds are not judges by look only on race results and breeding but the one that is missing is a lovely looking birds more Grey than Blue whit white flights gutted as I did like this bird and I have its nest mate
