I've got loads of mesh even plant mesh would have been easier but didnt occur to me at the time, (my daughter was heading this task up and they were coming out as quick as she was putting them in) a busy day and full sun shall be blamed. They'll probably be outside in a few days if the weather continue to be glorious (jinx).
We lost one of our older females this week. no sign of illness or injury and wormed regularly. I noticed a few weeks ago her eggs were no longer speckled just plain and then she started to lay less frequently and just thought she was probably coming to the end of laying. I dont know how old she was as we bought her but she was a big old girl. The 2 males we have are moulting and look way past their best too but hopefully they will refeather (it's not effecting their fertility or libido)
