  1. Got the pics uploading into the photobucket..... I will post soon!
  2. spot on mate,but some days if your unable to let them out for a few days to graze on grass,then i always have some on standby,i have about 20 seed trays,the ones about a foot and half and i put a thin layer of compost in and then sow different seeds in em,like salad leaves and grasses,i even do a few with the british finch mix and then just put them in,they dont half rattle em Great stuff
  3. I'll nip over the carter bar for a bit crack...see you all soon
  4. anyone run a deerhound x saluki or any pics?
  5. Hens do much better with access to grass. Have the pen divided into 3 large sections, centre section being the one they enter from the coop, You can bed this with straw or shredding as stated by craigyboy, this gives hens scratting etc, provide the feed/water in there too... provide access to 1 of the two side pens at a time, and rotate their use to keep them well grassed and avoid tredding the land. Gives you tons of compost, plus good grass all year for them = better eggs, healthier hens.
  6. Tried to send you a PM... think your inbox is full. Are you going to be over there? Drop me a PM
  7. sounds decent... why such a rare cross with you coursing boys then?
  8. Depends what your looking for... Aye
  9. Know a guy who has his coops up ladders, mounted on telegraph poles, foxy never took his hens. other than being fox proof, you just need a feeder + drinker with enough capacity
  10. sal/deer sounds more useful than sal/collie to me
  11. Where are you talking about scothunter?
  12. Never heard of it being illegal. The few folk I know in France are hunting all season with hounds for fox and boar... also they can dig pretty much all vermin in season including badger. Theres laws against the use of running dogs to catch game in several countries including France. But never heard of any that say no hunting with dogs!
  13. Im heading through France, and on into Europe...got a couple of dogs with me... any hunters out there fancy a meet up? Would like to experience hunting and pest control in other countries. Or if you need an extra pair of hands for anything, give me a shout. DnN
  14. No reason for not taking your dog, a slow dog wont do any good on a fell. You will get as many answers as posts, truth is, all types of lurcher have done well on fell ground. The best ones have a good nose, and a willingness to hunt out to find vermin.
