  1. Aye mine are in tubs i give them a shake but i didn't have any real big well pollinated cobs last year so i would like to give them every chance
  2. All my collars are the same colour its the sender units that are different colours so unless they lift there heads when there out even different coloured tape on the collars dont really help. Far handier saying that silver , sandy's no shown for a while better try having a look with the box
  3. My corn on the cob has the pollen and kernels now every time i pass it i try to hand pollinate the kernels , Is it worth doing or a waste of time last year i only got tiny cobs
  4. Got fenns mk1 , 4 &6s often thought about if Mk2,4 &5 where made or how they got the numbers
  5. When working a really big or deep place with double number ferrets in i find it handy to have different coloured ferrets so you can see who is showing at the holes and you know if one hasn't shown for a bit without walking all over the burrow . Once we tried marking albinos with different felt pens between the shoulder blades after 5 minutes in the box they came out all the colours of the rainbow and we couldn't tell them apart LOL , That's the only reason i would try to breed silvers as you can get a colour range from light sivers to nearly polecat markings
  6. You will get some lovely coloured kits that may be deaf or worse
  7. I used to run my hob with 6 jills all year and there was never a problem as he was snipped but with just one jill he might hurt it or cut it so maybe your 3 will be okay with have to keep taking him out
  8. He hasnt been back on since July 18th so maybe got someone
  9. I took the easy option and made mine out of ply sheets they come in 8 foot by 4 foot so that's the size i made it so there was less work cutting it only bad point is at 4 foot deep i need to use a hoe to clean it out as i cant reach the shavings using my small shovel , Other thing i would do is put it on legs stops vermin hiding under it and lets the air flow under it
  10. I feed all on tubs on a Sunday i am thinking one more feed then come September only water them if its dry stop the feeding ?. And also thinking cutting back a few of the leaves on the courgettes , pumpkin's and squashes try to help the fruits ripen the tomatoes in the greenhouse are nearly bare as i stripe the lower leaves to help ripen the fruit but the slugs got to the melon plants in the green house even with slug pellets down so there a washout
  11. If you get the weather we have great scenery all over if you dont it can be feckin horrible with pouring rain coming down sideways
  12. Hello and welcome mate , keep at it start applying now for next years course dont be put off
  13. I go out with a lamp every night and get 100s of slugs in the veggies and the amount of earwigs are crazy there's not one geranium not got holes in there leaves and the lilies had loads of lily beetles This year i am giving the pumpkins etc 2 gallon of water a day and feeding weekly and i might just get decent pumpkins this year
  14. just run the kits on another 2/4 weeks to make sure there fine you see too many kits for sale that look 4/5 weeks old
  15. Cheers she binned the towel in a plastic bag LOL
  16. This was found in a farmers tack room on a towel they use to dry their dog hasnt been used for a week or so but pick it up and this fell out , anyone know what it is ?
  17. As long as they are eating and drinking fine you should be able to take the Jill away too wean the kits and help the jill build herself back up . But if your worried about it take her out for a hour ,then two then three till your only putting her in at night in case a odd slow kit needs a bit of milk as a top up . But only you sees the condition of your kits and jill
  18. If your getting him snipped it wont matter
  19. you picked the hardest one to do when your learning a shaped net ?.Only do it when you can concentrate as one slipped knot and the nets useless but all my bad nets end up in my ferreting bag and they still catch rabbits
  20. hello and welcome mate , get out and knock on doors or think out with the box
  21. Get a snipped hob and run her with him jills can come into season 4/5 now with longer summers
