First lorry toss, at bishop stortford which is 30 miles, birds where picked up at 9am and was told to expect them around midday,12.05 the first batch came, all the birds came particularly well, one late commer, but he will not be so far behind tommorow, i like birds who take a while they seem to learn hell of a lot more and hardly seem to make the same mistake from the same training point again. The birds will be going training again tommorow, by the way i have only trained the cocks on the lorry, i will be rotating the cocks and hens alternatively, the hens will get first toss on lorry on thursday. All cocks apart from the late commer were home by 12.45. At 1pm, all birds including hens were fed 1/4 of ounce. This will have to be there routinely feeding time from now on. At 4.15pm the hens were allowed freedom of the loft, was disappointed with how they flew only gave me half an hour, could it be because there on canker treatment or they are all paired up to the Old Cock birds? Who knows. at 5.15pm the hens were fed at there routinely time as much as my yb mix as they can eat till start to leave barley, then an hour after the cocks were fed at there usual time and in the same manner.
