Guest Navek Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Are they free range a lot ? I find the free range birds make better birds there's an old guy I speak to and he said he leaves his stags free range aslong as he can till they start fighting each other then he barel pens them .. A stag I have here is that tame he comes in kitchen to me if he sees me follows me round like a dog and loves to be picked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keeper eley 367 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yes mate try free range all the birds when there youngsters as like you say they make better birds! I've had to barrel a few stags up so far but I've left them rampuri as long as possible! There roosting in the silver birch in the back garden and the rest and roosting in stable ! Yeh I've got a black red Peruvian aseel stag that's abit like that but not as friendly as yours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keeper eley 367 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Lol! Did you breed him? Broody or incubator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Navek Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 No a mate of mine did he was off a broody.....I prefer chicks of broodys instead of incubators....if incubated tho I try slip chicks under a hen but that's not always possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keeper eley 367 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yh I have done all broodys this year apart from one hatch! Did an incubator load of McLean hatch for a mate had 27 chicks and he put them under a broody who had been sitting tight for 2-3 weeks and next day she killed the lot!

Guest Navek Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 yes mate no second chances [BANNED TEXT] they do tha....did he manage get some more chicks out the hatch line ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken_man 1,651 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 27 chicks is a big loss and a lot of work! Shame that, same happened to me but only a few. It's a gamble but if it pays off it's far easier. Sorry you lost the chicks after all the work. As Navek says, did you manage to raise more? Navek! That stag is looking good :-) Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keeper eley 367 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 They were for my mate and yes did another load and transfered under broody fine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
