Hey Dave,
You will find that the variables are very broad from loft to loft. I have around 25, down due to an overfly, but usually have around 50 to 60. I plan on raising 75 or so this year, and will cull where needed..Jerry

About a hundred and forty of which a hundred need lots of air time if I want to fly in the WC this year. Hoping to be respectable.

65 right now should have 100 by july but the preds will probably knock the hell out of that #.26 white homers probably 60 by july.It doesn't take long to build up #s.It's getting the quality that's the tricky part.

22 Stock birds. 20 A teamers. Two boxes to fill, and 16 squeaks puting on weight...LOL I unfortunately lose a kit or two to unfortunate circumstances. I am however fortunate to have had the time to aquire some good stock. So making more isn't a big deal.
