mark, i think wether you just let them see each other or leave them together for a while is up to you.....as with standard widowood all fanciers have different methods to motivate the birds before basketing......some let them together for time before basketing to tread the hens etc, whereas we would have the hen in the nestbox and when we let the cock into her we would pick him up so they couldnt mate....so like i say everyone has different ideas on this sort of thing.............. |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
