Since the end of last season the usual repairs and making good have been going on, we have continued to feed up in the hope of keeping last years birds that got away hanging around.
The cover crops have gone in, our small cover crop has failed us again, just not enough nutrients in the soil, quite simply we require shit and lime.
Johns cover crop has fared much better and should give us some good high birds. The picture below has been taken at the lower end of the field, the guns will be standing along the fence line which is basically at the edge of the wheat field, the birds (we hope) will be flying above the guns at quite a speed.
The poults are in the pens and doing well considering the weather, we have lost a few as the rains have been constant and the ground saturated, it appears for the moment we are beating the predators.
Getting the pens ready
The pens now with added poults
