fireman 10,774 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 It'll drive you mad trying to keep track of them mate and i'll tell you a secret ,i look on the floor for any dead as it's easier and quicker than looking for young un's that don't want to be seen .It is one of those times where you have to thicken the skin a tad and let be what will be with them,at this age the worry bit has gone(until the moult ) and the cock is on the job so just sit and enjoy them mate and it's not many that can watch a nest of birds grow from eggs and turn into adults all in as natural surrounding as you can possibly supply,were bloody lucky folk we are mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
