hand reared vs parent reared birds for breeding

[Louie]

Will IRN's that have been hand-reared breed just as well as those that have been parent reared?

[julie]

yes but it depends on how you want the birds to be after breeding season. If the bird in question is tame it may not be the same after being paired up. But it also depends on the bird.

Thanks Julie.
