I start all of them off together all are dark trained from being young
birds, FIRST DAY 40 mins before dark I put them up, not much in the way of
kitting, but glad to say they all responded to the lights and droppers,

NEXT DAY all of the kit up together 40 mins before dark, this time kitted
and dropped 5 mins into the dark, played them on the top before handling
each bird and deciding what each bird needs,

NEXT DAY still cold conditions, kit up 4pm lights on 5pm all came together
to the lights,

This week I will continue keeping them on around 1 hour, next week I will
split them into 2 kits, training them keeping them in a day then out a day
vice versa for the 2 kits.

This month I will have them up to about 3 hours flying, 2 and 1/2 hours of
that will be in the dark
