In your face or do not know where the face in is. Four year old daughter do this. Fun watching her trying to

figure how to see bird and squeeze button at same time. She suffered as my lab assistant all day. She like using the tally-wacker to count big numbers.

Pops says your shouldn't handle your birds while they're in molt, he says their feathers are sensitive and its very uncomfortable for the bird. I'm about to start a similar rotation to what Havoc is talking about as soon as the cocks feather out.
I kept four of the most blemished Radios, why? Idk should have culled them months ago. Toes missing, entire spurs gone. I guess I'm keeping as reminders of my idiocy and as motivation to have all my birds secured at all times.

How old are you? No sh*t you shouldn't handle them when they are in molt. Most will let you know right away they don't like it much.

Had a wagon full of culling this evening, mostly cross pullets and a few pure stags. 36 total today

Ugh not fun

Actually I was just asking his age because he said something about his pops. Nothing to do with chickens. I'm just being nosy.
Since a scholar like yourself resorts to name calling I will let you know what I think about you.
I honestly don't think you know a d*mn thing about anything other than sunfish. You pretend a lot but you aren't fooling many. You go on and on about chicken genetics, breeding, special penning processing. Your just full of sh*t. It's plain to see. The internet doesn't need anymore superstars like you it's full. Now go have your milk and cookies before you say something that actually makes sense.

I'll try not to lol. You prefer the rubber nylons? Those looked better made to me but how's the nylon hold up?

I use the rubber cords with inline swivels and nylon hitches for most since they work on all birds. The only downside to them is they usually take two hands to put on and take off. They can get a little stiff too with the weather. I have a few Oklahoma hitches too which i like better but they need a spur to cinch down above.
Overall I like the rubber since it seems like it will last longer and a little more shock absorbing. I don't keep them on cords though. I think flypen has some on cords all the time though. He might be able to give you a better idea what lasts and what doesn't.

I figured the rubber would last a bit longer you haven't steered me wrong yet that I can think off lol. Though I did figure they wouldn't be as costly as they are especially for those with hundreds of tied birds I only need bout half a dozen though.
