Enjoying your videos. I do have a question, if you separate a breeding pair and move hen to a new cock how many sets of eggs would you dispose of before you could be shore that the new mating was fertileizing the eggs?
We've never separated a hen from her cock halfway through a season, lots of people do, but we've never done it, but if we did we'd take the hen out of the loft for a week then introduce a new cock to her, then you'll know the next round will be fertilised by him
Other birds all back after a further 40 minutes off ranging 💪
Glad to hear they are all back….birds need to range but can be worrying
Yeah mate, was very glad to see them return, just turned up out of nowhere, was getting abit worried they are progressing very well
