It would be better to just go ahead and get them paired up if you want to...

What if it gets down cold again?  A couple of birds won't be able to generate the heat they had within a covey of say 10 or more, especially if they are in an open air wire pen?

Thanks!

I've not hardly any experience with breeding pairs/trios. Although I've acquired the materials to build some roll out cages based mainly on the info and pictures obtained on this forum. Now I just need someone to kick me in the ***, to get me movin' on the project.   :angel:

I split mine up today and banded them. They were not happy.

My wife helped and thought they looked tasty, even though she has never tasted one..........neither have I.

I need to get a net and a brain. I have three breeder cages behind a shed (so my dad cant see them). Well I tried to seprate this injured hen. Well she decides to fly out before I could get the door closed. Took a little time, but I am lucky she had an injured foot and wasn't flight trained. No I have to bring the birds into the shed put them in the cage their and take them back out to the back of the shed.
