Hiya I dont know anything about the technicalities of breeding different breeds bullsmilk This is all a first time for me, just making it up as I go along really!! What is the probs with them having Rhode in them?...I dont know about the breed, I just assumed the cob/ross was a table bird like any other... I actually got these out of a nightmare situation. A woman had them advertised as 2 week old chicks, saying that she didn't have the room for them. What I didn't know till I got there was that she meant she didn't have room for them in her KITCHEN, in a CARDBOARD BOX, along with a gre

I'm not entirley sure what you have to do legally, but I think anyone can keep a sheep if they want to. My aunty has two pet sheep, and no holding number etc. I think it would be wise though just to contact your local animal health office (link): http://www.defra.gov.uk/Animalhealth/about...lth-offices.htm ... and just notify them that you are keeping sheep at your address. I think given the circumstances surrounding foot and mouth outbreaks, it would be the responsible thing to do.... Its easy to get a holding number if you wish, and you can be registered as keeping "petstock" rather than

I have a whole huge garden, and part of a copse that has been completely fenced with 6 ft chicken wire that has also been dug in. So, they put themselves away to roost at night, with no need to shut them in the shed. In the summer, I open up the gate in the copse so they can roam the field in the daytime too. I have a small orchard too where I'll be putting the meat birds on thier own for breeding stock, this I haven't got fox proofed so I will have to shut them in yes! With regards to the males and females, I kept all the four hen birds that were among the lot of 17 in total, so I do

I could well be wrong... but I thought magnesium paste was only for use on unbroken skin, eg. an abcess that needed drawing to the surface... I had some for a blackthorn splinter I had. I was going to use it another time to draw some gravel out of a graze, but then read, "not for broken or raw skin" or something to that effect. I'd probably recomend just bathing the pad with salty water, or tea tree like Andrea said. and leaving the air get to it.

cheers buddy!

This girl has just gone to sit. I've wrapped laylandi branches round where she's been laying to create a bit more of a sheltered nest, as the eggs were quite visable before, so fingers crossed!!! She's sitting on 11 eggs, some of hers and some from my Appleyard's. I also have a muscovey sitting on ???? eggs, she's done a great job at choosing her spot so I'm just leaving her to it The Appleyards (I love this pair)

Just thought I'd post up some pics of my meat birds. They are french Sasso's, slow maturing, poultry for the table, commonly reared in orchards in france. I've just killed 12 cockerals, and all but one neared 3kilo's. (the one that didn't was a bit lame) The meat is amazingly moist, and they had a good covering of fat. They were 20 weeks old, and free ranged with all my other poultry, eating layers and mixed corn, and the ducks feed of sow/ weaner meal. The legs had a "chew" to them, to be expected with the age, and ground they ran on, but the flavour was out of this world... almost a nuttin

Thanks guys ... I went for the camcorder, but the battery was dead

This shot would have been amazing if I had a better lens, but this was taken with a 150mm, and it was soooo far away. They were really having a spectacular session!

Does sound like Mange Goose, normally starts off round the face/ears, and/or bum and tail area.... Get it sorted!
