Cockerman59 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 some of you must spend a long time counting the birds in the pen to know you have them all in lol How many of you feed outside pen straight away, or just inside pen only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard flew out the pen this evening, got CDs up and flashing strip lights to try and keep them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 All ours have settled well, had a few out of one pen that we walk back in, I think a couple of the pop holes are a bit big inside so they are wondering out. The other 2 pens are fine. Ducks are looking really good and moving to a pond on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalfordninja33 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ours were delivered on Sunday, 600 in one pen, 100 in another and 400 in the last one. Wings were clipped on ours. We've made a few changes to the water, feeding and pens this year, giving them more shelter and alongside more access to everything else. We keep one feeder in each wood topped up year round, the next job on the bank holiday weekend will be to fill all the cover feeders and all the other wood feeders, I've got some help for that job this year, I did it alone last year and didn't relish through of filling 80 25kg bags with wheat and carting them around the farm. I'm a pen pusher during the week and proper work takes it out of me! I feel better after though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
