When are poults due?

[Dave-G]

One of my rarely available and distant perms usually has his poults in before his crops are done so I can't get a drive round for bunnies.

 

With the extended heatwave I'm thinking the crops might be down early, so calling the bloke to ask if that's the case this year but don't want to bother him if his poults will be in - so are they likely to have arrived yet? I don't shoot pheasant so just plain don't know.

All depends when they start shooting. My poults will arrive 3/4th of August but we don't start until mid Nov, but on a shoot that starts on the 1st October they won't be far off, or will already have them

[Scully]

Ex layers are often available early to mid June, so six week old poults makes it around early August, which is when ours arrive. 

[Dave-G]

Thanks for that chaps, he doesn't want lights or gunshots to disturb the poults.
