Hello Everyone,
Dropped my racks today and here are my results: Rack 1 - 5 young and 85 fledges, Rack 2 - 26 young and 61 fledges and Rack 3 - 24 young and 58 fledges. Totals are 55 young still in the gourds but 204 have flown da coop. So my possible production in 72 gourds might reach 259 birds. Used the plug and string to keep 37 gourds in check this morning. Temps were in the low 90s. No breeze at all. See ya next week, Mike
Nest Check #10 - 6/8/25
