young or old

got my young birds out at the moment, but they are not realy young birds anymore, they have been on the go since 6 am and are still all over the sky , the cocks are bouncing and flying like old ones with there crops blown out, and realy clapping there wings both on take off and in the air ,they are very fit and a pleasure to watch, roll on next week weather is going to be much better, only sad thing is I wont see them come home, as I will be the liberator, but the wife will do a good job at getting them in on return.
