Penda 3,341 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 i broke some a couple of weeks back mate only took me a few days i was well chuffed aint broke birds in ages i always say keep the grub down on them pick yah day to have them out no too windy i mean and if you can try to let them out late afternoon you usaually find they wont go far, tumblers and that are pretty easy to break but birds like tipplers and races are a handful time to time, i always think its easy to break a cock bird when his running his hen to nest as long as the hens broken hens tend to break to the loft easier when there feeding young usaually when there feathered up nice,on rare occassions youll break them when there sitting usaully just wanna fly and head for there former home best thing i could say mate keep them in breed of them youll have young to break then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
