Hi
I should be getting my Blue Andalusia(sp ?) this week I think. If I
band them as chicks how often will I have remove the bands and re
band. I hate to even ask but is there rfid tag bands in use now? I
would like to keep better records that I did before and for that I
need a way of tracking the birds. Is there a better way than banding.
I am planning to keep eventually 2 different breeds( separated within
but sharing a common house) separately. Also do you think 50 feet by
25 feet(width of netting) is okay for each breed run for a standing
flock of about twenty-five birds ( sometimes there would be a few more
until culling.) Basically I am wanting to have hands-on genetic
training. I do realize that this is a very limited flock.
We use wing tags which [ in the main !] don't come off as they grow but take
a bit of practise to get it right
But I don't know if you can get them?
The pen sounds small
