January 8, 200916 yr Author How often are you changing the pairings shannon? thay dont breed and thay have infertile eggs the grey normal got out of the breeding cage so i had to :doh: why :bump: Edited January 8, 200916 yr by shannon bird breeder
January 8, 200916 yr What ages are the pairs as I see red rings and black rings. Maybe age is part of the infertile eggs thing ? ALSO you have paired hens who show they are NOT in breeding condition and a cock with a brown cere. Edited January 8, 200916 yr by KAZ

January 8, 200916 yr Author do you know when in 2008 they were born? yes they can breed Edited January 8, 200916 yr by KAZ
January 8, 200916 yr do you know when in 2008 they were born? yes they can breed that's not why I was asking but okay If I came accross as if I was checking up on you sorry. I was just curious to know if you wait until they are 12 months or not. Not everyone does. It's breeders perogative in my opinion. I know of people who breed hens at 8 months, I know of some that wait until 15 months...
January 21, 200916 yr Nice mate. Like your pieds and pair 4 & 7, the rest are good too but I like them most
January 21, 200916 yr the red rings? Is red not the colour for this year? They obviously are not this years, so they ahve to be from the last time around. That makes them what 2003 birds?
January 21, 200916 yr yep. I believe so dave. there are a few members that are doing that at the moment, pairing '03 cocks with younger hens. Dunno how it would go, I would've thought by that age they would be firing blanks so to speak...

Most of them are firing blanks by that age too JB So....Shannon....any fertile eggs from the red rung birds ???
January 22, 200916 yr I am still getting filled eggs from a black rung cockbird 02. Dont breed him much but have used him on pet hens
