While to say fly would be a stretch we reared Partridges from eggs a few years back and about a week old a handful got out of the brooder, the shed brooder is in is a agricultural shed 60X30 and would guess 25 foot high and they went halfway across it and up to the trusses and landed on them. b*****ds to catch as well, would def say too early for a brood start of feb though.
Yeah fair point.
