    they were 12 months last week. i only got them at 9 months so im eager to see how they react around the birds. I know of an area they were nesting but didnt want to rush the birds off. thanks

    The barley was cut a few weeks ago. About 3 weeks and i came across a nest in the stubble. Havn said that i dont know did the combine scare off the hen or was it scared off long before this.
