GOOD MORNING BREEDERS
THE WEATHER GAVE US A TEASE 85 TODAY AND NEXT WEEK BACK TO 97-101 UNBELIEVABLE!! BREAKING ALL RECORDS FOR THE HEAT FOR JULY-AUG, BIRDS HEALTH IS HOLDING VERY HAPPY WITH ALL THE HEAT WE HAVE HAD AND THEY GO OUT IN THE HEAT TO FLY DOESNT SEEM TO HURT THEM MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST HANG OUT SUNNING. WE HAVE 513 SIGNED UP WITH 404 IN THE LOFT GROUPS 5 WILL JOIN THE OTHER GROUPS TODAY AND GROUP 6 WILL GO INTO THE SETTLING NET FOR ONE WEEK. HAWKS ARE STILL HERE MESSING WITH THE BIRDS EVERY DAY THERE OUT BUT THATS LIFE THIS TIME OF YEAR, THEY MUST GET USE TO THEM AND YES WE ALWAYS LOOSE ONE OR TWO WHEN THEY GET HIT. WE WILL BE TAKING BIRDS AND REPLACEMENTS TILL SEP 16TH THEN THE LOFT WILL BE CLOSED AND WE GO WITH WHAT'S HERE. TWO WEEKS LONGER THEN IN THE PAST BUT HAD A FEW BREEDERS ASK ME TO EXTEND BECAUSE IT''S VERY HOT WHERE THEY ARE SO WE WILL TRY IT THIS YEAR AND SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT. OTHER THEN THAT I HATE THIS TIME OF YEAR SEEMS I SPEND MORE TIME CLEANING UP FEATHERS THEN ANYTHING. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY WITH THE FAMILY AND A GOOD WEEK.
THANKS MARK
