went into the loft half a egg shell on the floor after checking 6 ybs from 6 eggs due to hatch 2 from a hen thought she was finished

That's what you want to see.

thought this hen had finished breeding

That’s good news George. Especially from the old hen.

Excellent news George and great to hear the old hen has produced something for you again, she does look a cracking bird mate. Looking forward to seeing how they grow All the best.

just been and got my rings will check to-morrow they should be near ready

all the pairs i.m breeding off have now gone down the pair were i lost the eggs have gone down again and with the nestbox blocked off they sit tight hope the members are happy with there breeding

Good to hear you’ve got your rings George. I’ve still got 3 pairs of stock birds that still haven’t laid. They are 8 year old hens. Hopefully when it warms up a bit they will lay. They all laid ok last year and have paired up fine this year just haven’t laid yet.
The race birds that have paired are all down on eggs. All pairs should be raising at least one youngster. I have moved a few eggs around to single rear under pairs I didn’t want to breed from.

it will soon come round Andy when you can't wait to finish breeding i do every year can't wait to start then can't wait to finish

I know what you mean George. Lol.
