the breeding pens i built a couple of years back i roofed some and what a difference its made this year to the ground conditions ,its always about space though"never enough" i would have like to have made them bigger but space dictated ! im a believer in buy once cry once and hopefully they will last ! im thinking of roofing some of the ones left and building another roofed pen this year ,it would be nice to be able to move them about but without the ground it aint happening , i will dig some pics off the backup drive tomorrow ld and put them up

we thought of getting a couple of gold tops last year cm but ended up with enough game going broody as you know ,no expert but would think that game birds being reared by a game bird would keep instincts ? any comments on this ? trying not to derail a yank thread but failing here :hmm:we are using the heat lamp on a timer to extend the light a bit giving them 14hrs as suggested , we will change the bulb to a normal light bulb though in a couple of days
