Went in the birdroom today to feed an drink up an one of my pairs of Mexicans that I'm going to use as feeders next round have got three chicks in the nest all with full crops. So that's made me abit happer knowing now that I can trust them as feeders as they were last season birds so trial run first . Glad your seasons starting okay nipper pal atb mate 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cock birds want to sit on nest fronts out of the way from view. Soon as you go there away on the wing in the flight with hen tailing him nightmare very scatty birds. Now I've took them out a can go in birdroom go In the flights an cages hens can see me don't move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
