Ok, no problem. I will buy them and pay postage if you change your mind

I’m interested if you would post? How much are you looking for?

We did this a few years ago, in a very similar situation to you. We kept the birds in the pen for about three weeks, then set up the same feeders and drinkers that the birds were used to out side the pen, and released a few birds every day until they were all out. We found that feather pecking was more of a problem, so we used to give them other things to peck, like cabbages, kale, maize cobs etc and tried release the more aggressive birds first. It worked ok, and it gave us an extra drive for a couple of years.

The first batch would only be 11-12 weeks old when you release the second lot, so the first birds would probably be still in the pen most of the day. I have always been told that you shouldn't mix age groups of birds in the same pen due to disease risks. As above, the best option is to extend your pens if possible, and release in one batch

Last season was particularly bad for holding birds, mainly due to the amount of natural food around in the autumn. Why don't you see if you can have a mix of bazanty's and blackneck's, then you will see how they compare in flying ability, and how many of each end up on the game cart?

It's a Tecumseh

Sounds like the problem you have is the flushing point is too near to home for the birds. I don't think that the sewelling on the bank will make the birds fly any higher, but if you can put some sewelling further back in the drive to flush the birds earlier, and further away from wherever they're heading to, that would probably help.

Starlock washers, just got some from ebay for mine

We had this on a 2007 FL2 at about 70,000 miles, Land Rover quoted about £2k for a whole new diff. We got it repaired at our local independent Land Rover specialist, who supplied and fitted a repair kit, for less than £400. The car was fine after that, and it was still ok when we sold it at about 130,000 miles
