Malt 379 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Personally I wait until they are leaving the nest box until I start handling them.. 7 or 8 weeks should be OK for moving on, and make sure they get plenty of handling up until they leave, the more the better IMO.. Raising a litter is very time consuming if done properly.. Quote Link to post
Alcatraz 16 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah 8 weeks to move on.... most buyers want them around that. Quote Link to post
The one 8,503 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I start handling them when they start coming out the nest remove the jill at six weeks and run the kits on for a fortnight to see there all eating fine etc by themselves then rehome them Quote Link to post
