Speed traps.

Use a couple. Old birds out yesterday, open loft. Went to close up last night and one red hen would not enter the trap. Got her in through the door. Other day she had tried to enter the trap and the leg with the plastic marker band had caught on the angle of the corner. First time I have ever seen it happen. Trap shy now. Will have to physically put her through the traps a few times or not race her.

Sunshine!! Young out. First time in a while. The mealy out of the original 7 is a cock. Cooing around hens yet!

Mealy in question. Like him!

They have come on a lot hal since you first posted a picture of them had birds my self getting a toe caught under the landing board of sputnik trap's and had to lift them up to release them from hanging up side down

Blue bottom right in above pic. Survived a mink but not a hawk.

That's a shame hal hope the rest make it

Hope so to. Hate to lose them but fact of life. This early anyway.

38 in. Relieved!! Had to let out the stock birds to encourage them. All stock are broken. Now some of the young know the routine should be OK.
