[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6298306, member: 4505"] Released greys have a low survival rate due to lack of skills. One French producer countered that by trapping up some of the wild cocks that come around the laying pens looking for a mate. When he released coveys of about 20 young birds, he made sure they included one of the wild cocks which then taught the artificially reared birds how to survive in the wild. A good example of social learning. I released ex-layer greys around here. During a dry year, they did remarkably well with one covey of 30 chicks! But then they dwindled away and there are none now.
