Scully Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Went down to Hi-Fly early doors,which was just as well as we got lost....again! Picked up 128 ex layers for us and a further 50 for another shoot, a bag of grit and released into smaller inner pen. Only one casualty and three flitted out of inner pen into exterior one. Dog going mental already.... Here we go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbart Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 How come 128? That's very precise! Maybe they have sold a 128 bird day ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 or a 64 based on a 50% return Our poults are 3 weeks away it will be an interesting year as the combine is going to be late rolling and its very hard to get hold of foxes till then on our ground as you can't see them the cover is that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 How come 128? That's very precise! Based on 8 crates at 16 birds per crate;but there's always a few extras.All are out of small pen now and into BIG one and living the good life....for now. We also have 8 poults from a wild brood(from last years birds;we don't catch up) 14 Redleg chicks and 137 eggs from this years ex-layers in incubators.Can't wait!
