  1. I agree it,s def a buyers market,have one son who is stuck with a huge mortgage,after a split with oh, and no-one intersted in buying the house and other son age 21 just took out a buy to let mortgage on his first house,1st time buyer so has high interest for the 1st 2 years,he has worked all hours since 13 yrs old and was able to put a good deposit down, i really think if u can afford to now is the time to buy,
  2. CHEERS, THESE BIRDS ARE PRICED TO SELL AS SICK OF 2 LEGGED FOXES,
  3. I have 5 pure aseels left as am giveing up large game,4 hens,[ 2 blue, 2 black] and one black red cock bird,all good quality,2 yrs old, Hens are 50 pounds each,[ no offers as sensibly priced] and 85 for the cock bird,pics attached [ i hope]
  4. If they are running a temp the stiffness etc could be a type of seizure/convulsion,especially as it seems to happen after they have been running around.
  5. Still sounds like an infection to me,get onto the vets, i would keep them a little quiet if poss until they are sorted,it may just be another course of antibiotics that is needed,if something is underlying racing around all day will result in them being done in at the end of the day, [ know the feeling],Good luck and hope u get to the bottom of the problem
  6. With a high temp it has to be some sort of infection,and i would defo take back to vets and query why nothing has shown up,did he do blood tests? if not why not? if they are dehydrated then i would suggest syringing them every 15 mins when possible,it is surprising how quickly they go downhill if they are dehydrated.strange one but there must be answers somewhere.
  7. Majority of these scum are not the big brave i ams when confronted and as has been said shit themselves when faced by real men,it also lets them know that u know WHO they are and WHERE they are, we too thought we may be in for a load of aggro, but far from it,had a peaceful,[ touches wood] stressfree life since,i would definately do the same again,haveing your dogs took is the most heartbreaking feeling ever,if u know who took your dogs GO FOR IT.
  8. Well we took the bull by the horns,[ so to speak] and fought fire with fire,after finding out for definate who had taken our jacks,2 years on the run, OH BOY they had a nightmare 24hrs with a little help from some top class heavies,and so far no further thefts, as has been said police, forget it,not interested at all,even when we had given them name and address,so there was only one way to go,these pigs are well known dog thieves around our area,our gate dog was given a good beating,[ which is their way] they not fazed about any dog,.Sometimes enough is enough,didn,t get our dogs back as they
  9. DITTO NIKEY, GOOD SITE AND HELPFUL WITHOUT BEING OVER THE TOP
  10. Most female goats are mated sept/october time,which is when they come into season.so they kid down following early spring.How is the little fella doing?
  11. Yes 4 kids is too much and u should try and foster or bottle supplement feed if that is easier if it happens again,goats carry for approx 5 months,similar to sheep.
  12. Daughter has ordered 10 of these poor girls,there is a rescue in may/june of around 13,000 of these birds,you can put your name down on a waiting list and they are free,just have to pick them up at various locations,my daughter has to go to lincoln for hers,they soon freshen up,only allowed 10 per household,anymore and u have to have a homecheck
  13. HE sounds like he has fluid on his lungs,doesn,t mean to say he hasn,t had enough colostrum though,if he is fine and lively and feeding well and skipping about,keep an eye on him and it may clear,if he is down and not drinking etc nip him to the vet,i,m sure a steroid jab will sort him out,
  14. MAY 15TH [ THURS ] is the main day but we usually go up a few days before.They have one in october as well,don,t know the date of that as yet,if u want to know just tel cotswold tourist info on 01451 831082.
  15. Had one last night was a bit of a toughie,so threw everythin in a roasting dish,carrots onion,parsnip,seasoning, herbs,a few bacon bones,added an inch of water and covered with foil,cooked it long and slow and was really tender and tasty.
  16. As told to me by a reliable source, no need for the clay jacket at all.just scrape off spikes with a sharp knife and then hold over embers to singe of any remaining bits,best way to gut one is to split it down the back and open it up,as for taste,as has been said they have a taste of their own,nothing like pork or chicken,had a small mouthful once years ago,and that was enough.
  17. Hi and thanks for the welcome everyone,
  18. HI i have browsed for a while,so took the plunge and joined,am female so hope there are a few others on site,have a smallholding,but not working dogs as such, 2 SBT,and a terrier,who loves to go off on her own and often fetches a rabbit back,main interest is keeping and breeding OEG, large, and min bantams.So obviously a bit of a lightweight compared with u lot but looking forward to joining in,[as only a woman can, LOL ]
