Lloyd -You do as you see fit mate ,just thought i'd point it out .

[Guest little_lloyd]

I will

 

Anyway heres the craic bit of a bummer today with picking up the Birds.

 

I arrived at the farm gate at around ten past ten thismorning there was a que of two cars. Waited for a good old ten minutes when a bloke comes out and sticks a sign on the gate saying 'closed' and walks back into the yard. The person infront got out and asked him why they where shut and he ignored him. You would of thought he could of came to the gate where his waiting customers or shall i say ex-customers where and expalined the situation arrogant c**t!! So the farms open tomorrow and if i had not paid for them already i would of taken my money some place else

 

But the crate still in the landy and ill be hoping to bring them to wood tommorow!!!!!!

Noisey b*****ds and their eggs give you terrible windypops after you've bashed them round the pan a few times trying to crack them.

If you clip their wings they will still be able to get out of charleys reach. I had two in my laying pen which buggered off but before they did the hen layed loads of eggs like a quail, more than she could sit anyway. I wanted to neck them every time I went to feed because I hate the noise they make

[Guest little_lloyd]

Yes there wings are slightty clipped and one of the bloody things managed to get out and hang around the outside of the pen, I was up at first light trying to catch the bugger for 3 days all day but Charlie put a stop to it last night!!!

 

Lukily my other three are not daft but extremely flighty

you shouldnt need to clip there wings, if the resources are there then they wont feel the need to bugger of. there great to have in pens as the will certainly let you know if owts about, but as far as shooting goes, it'll b out of trees!

[Guest SJM]

The guy got fed up trying to rehome them so he asked me to come and shoot them for him last week, had some good fun popping them in and around the woods, theyre good eating too
