[After Ratting]

I spray with dettol solution if he is bad. If not just a clean off when home with a natural shampoo stuff my missus got for cleaning oil off my hands. Can find the name of it if you want 

[Ratting, Bedford]

Ok mate that sounds good. Will PM you to sort something out. 

[Ratting, Bedford]

I don’t mind travelling too much mate. If you are moving sheds would be worthwhile for a bit of a laugh. Let me know closer to the time and if I’m free I’ll see if I can get down. Only got one dog 

[Ratting, Bedford]

When are you thinking about doing it mate?

[Rats R Us.]

Looks like you have plenty of action there Treehands! Great fun!

[After Ratting]

We were in a pile of shit, literally. The whole place was moving with what looked like miniature woodlice - everytime we turned something over we could see them moving. The fleas could have been there from before but I doubt it as I keep on top of them pretty well, that and he live indoors so would have noticed I think.

Hi,

 

Looking for some advice about how to clean a dog in the field after ratting.

Last night dog was covered in mites and fleas - would diluted dettol sprayed on after we have finished stop this? If not, what do you guys use?

Looking for a way to clean dog while in the field before heading home.

[Beware]

King - I'll be setting something like that up this weekend!

 

Be sure to scare the shit out of anyone there who shouldn't be there.

[Good Advice From A Legend.]

Great footage, just sent it to my pal who has a staffie for ratting!

[Out Ratting]

Ok mate. Just wondering that's all, I cut mine short but leave it longer than yours. Just because

I assumed it would give slightly more protection. One of the places we have is a pile of pig shit/ green waste, he stinks after digging about in that!

[Out Ratting]

Pud - I think that is your westie? Do you clip the coat? If so, why? Just interested as I would have thought a slightly longer coat would be able to take a bite better?

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a level wind part (the guide bit) for my old Abu 7000 synchro.

 

Does anyone have a good supplier of reel spares?

Deadeyes - I work 5 mins from Colchester zoo. Who supplies them with meat?

 

Pm if preferred.

[Christmas Turkeys]

Hi Jiggy,

 

I have been offered some free eggs, that's what prompted me to rethink about doing it this year.

 

I think I will have a go, what's the worst that can happen!

[Christmas Turkeys]

Thank you for your insight and help! My plan was to incubate them and let them run with my chickens....

From your advice I think I will have to think of another plan!!

I know where I can get young turkeys from but I doubt they have been vaccinated etc. I will have a search around and see what I can source.

Thank you,

[Christmas Turkeys]

Thanks Jiggy - do they struggle to get out of their shells? Or are they similar to pheasants in that it seems they just want to die?

Thanks for your help, eggs I can get are Norfolk bronze, lavender slate or a mixture of the two.

[Christmas Turkeys]

Thanks for the advice, at least it's not too late to try this year!

I will try and find out what sort of turkeys they are. I have two different people offering them to me so will have a think.

They will be fed on organic stuff they find, constant chicken layers pellets and corn.

[Christmas Turkeys]

Hi,

 

I wanted to do some turkeys for Christmas, but other things got in the way.

 

I still want to do it but need some advice:

Am I too late to start incubating them in the next couple of weeks if I want them for Christmas?

Can they live with chickens?

Is there anything else I should know before I try it?

Ed

[Ratting Yesterday Evening]

Looks good fun foxdropper!

I guess if there is a young lad out there with a young pup someone could always invite him out to get some dirt on the bank? Then he will have more experience and education into what he is hopefully getting a dog for.

Chances are the lad will have a better bond with this dog than most due to the care it has needed to get it through the first couple of weeks.

[I]

Or take a deposit?

[Ratting, Bedford]

Rabid - let me know if you are planning on moving any sheds soon. A mate and I will travel down for a crack at it and a laugh.

Pm if preferred, Ed

[Is There Any Need?]

Well as I have pre paid for them my thoughts are that I might as well have the boosters every year.

Also in the price is a check up every 6 months - not necessary really as I would like to think I would know if there was something up with the dog
