any thoughts on weaning young birds at 26 days old, will they be ok ?

Never bothered me, with open loft they did what comes naturally.

However, I did once go to a Massarella auction of young birds and was amazed at how young they were.

Perhaps a little later than sooner.

some of these were off at 19 days David, they're up flying in a batch tonight just over 2 weeks later, some ready earlier than others, like kids really

cracking looking ybs Collin i go by the feathering under the wing good luck with them

Nothing wrong with them barnie.

Just have to hope YB sickness gives fanciers a miss this year can destroy all
the hard work.

Have you finished breeding for this year ?.

And how about the other youngsters but as I remember they are all blues,
like peas in a pod.

Regards.

Thanks Misty, yes only took a round as no stock birds kept and not much spare time for pigeons, I'll try get photos up there's a few cheqs turned up this round and a cheq pied. Still one not catching up with the rest, give her another few days it's not ill as such just not bright and thriving like it's loftmates so far.
