The old hen that insists on mothering everything is in the bottom right box perch. She was hawked twice and has a dropped wing so won’t be able to race.

I started them on a course of Strike yesterday so hopefully they will start to pick up soon
Good to hear the youngsters have settled in well Andy and are already coming out, I hope they do well for you both.

I did lose one off the loft unfortunately the first time they went out. I had another 3 or 4 have a night out in the early days. I knew I couldn’t afford to keep them in to long as most were quite strong when they arrived. They were put in with my own youngsters, which were probably slightly younger, before opening the fronts up after being in there for 3 days. It is always a worry when any go out for the first few times whether they’re your own or from someone else.
