You've got to have dexterous fingers to open up a bandette one handed to get on, or find a football position to use both hands or the easiest way is have a helper so gathering up and banding the flock is done and over quickly.
My birds are still young but constantly looking them over. I've a question about red leakage. My two most promising cockerels have red in wings. If one of these goes over a full silver pullet won't half the offspring be free of mahogany factor? Or is chasing out red going to be a long battle? They're only 16 weeks so a chance another cockerel will be promising but with such a strong difference in breadth of these two from the others I'm doubting any others will ever compare.
