I was getting £1 a rabbit 30 YRS ago.. if every body that sells their rabbits all put the price up at onceyou could get at least £2.50 a rabbit, they are worth that all day long to any restaurant, would you agree.. We have been getting this for over 30yrs mate if I asked 1.50 were I live they would have a fecking heart attack.but I know what ya mean but for the aggravation I would rather fill my own freezer as I've worked hard for it.but like you say they should be £2.50 the butchers charge £6+ And have no problem at that price.

We only get £1 each hence why we eat everything I kill now for the trouble you have getting it.the wife makes game pies which we freeze and soups,broth and what ever we can make.

How Did You Get Started/into Fowl/chickens?
lurchers replied to Chicken_man's topic in Fowl & Feather Talk
I've always liked the light Sussex but now I just have the hybrids,they are Sussex/Rhode Island reds 1stx I've bought a rhode cockerel to try and put into the stock so I can end up with pure Rhodes.we only keep them for eggs for us then I give the surplus away. i got 8 rhode island red hatching eggs last year 5 were cocks kept 3 hens back im pleased with them. Nice colour to mate are the Rhodes just as good layers as cross breeds.the cockerel I have if he was human he would be doing life for rape.he pins them to the floor when I 1st let them out on a morning.he does his ally shuffle -
Get a mentor 1st mate as people can kill a bird with out knowing if you have never had the experience.give it a year as that will be enough time for you to get all the equipment you need and be committed for one atb

My mate has a Antrim box for sale £100 fits in the back of ya van no problem mate.
-
It depends on the breeding mate and height of there parents so you can get a rough idea how big your pup will make.thats why people shouldn't get into the game at this day and age as they have no experience or been shown anything.

None as far as I know.when you learning the dog to sit you blow the whistle once,then when it's used to that and the training is going good when you blow the whistle once it's still the same thing stop sit the dog knows the sound.

Midland Game Fair- Stolen Pups
lurchers replied to s.e.s.k.u's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The feckers took a mates cocker bitch and pups 6yrs ago the rspca rang my mate last year and said they found the bitch on a camp site,her tits were touching the floor so they had bred the arse out of her.then they said to my mate if you want her back it would cost him £70 to cover traveling costs and she had been spayed by them.he told them to stick it as he hasn't seen her for that long and to old to train back up now.so it goes to show you with out that chip in them you will never find them on a site and if so how long down the line.hope ya mates get them back mate atb -
Clulite has been making lamps for years mate,I'm getting the blazerlite but I was fancying the new one they have out.spoilt for choice atb

Spennymoor clay pigeon shoot mate if that's any good for you.
-
dogs gone, yeah I was going to say that.I think its pound for the greyhound transporter to bring a dog to the UK. Would be a cheap dog for pound. cost more on injections a grub to get an 8 week old pup to the age of the dog in the pics Exactly mate but some of the greedy feckers on here wouldn't pay £ if it free,or the normal excuse if you were closer atb mate.

They will be traveling through looking for food and as your mam has no feeders out she won't have much of a problem.they are probably under a neighbours shed,decking or come from were you have said.just put a bait station down and they will go inside for the poison but tell your mam she has nothing to worry about as they are more scared of her than she is of them.this is what I do for a living mate??

I would say 18/19tts she looks the double of my 5/8 grey 3/8 beddie

DVD all the time as the books do lie big style.

Even if somebody over here wanted to give him a home it's cheap enough of the transporter.
-
I no mate that's why I have decided to up grade but it's lasted me 8yrs and still going strong but I will keep it for a back up or convert it when I have time to a blazer.?
-
I should expect they will be bigger than that! Mature red stag in Norfolk can reach 20 stone plus in live weight. I said cleaned mate ya no (gutted and skinned)he would sell it for £1 a 1lb some were 145lb cleaned
-
I've got the cb2 which is the lazerlite,but now I'm going for the blazerlite as they are just as good but brighter.i was thinking of the new lazerlite or the plr500 but the one I'm getting will do me.

The best one is on YouTube called coursing with Brian it's a Russell quality.
-
That's why I said a Picardy Shepard wouldn't do it because of weight,it has the size but I no a lad who has really big bullxs that's done them but his dogs are at least 70/80lb in weight.i know a bloke who has permission to shoot them up Scotland on a farm because of the damage they cause and once they are cleaned weigh in at 110lb+

Lot of states it's illegal to own a ferret or need exotic licence for one ,same as for big cats,lol That's stupid I wouldnt say a ferret is exotic they stinky and can be viciuos but that's what they are bred for rabbiting.i thought it would of been a big thing to have in America
-
Most red stags are a bit smaller than that. As for the Picardy cross, you don't say what it's crossed with. I imagine that a Picardy crossed with a deerhound or deerhound cross, or even one of the bigger types of coursing dog, could produce some tall strong animals with plenty of grit. It's a one he got from Jeff Burrel it's about 26/27tts and solid but no way would it take that single handed.

Why is it illegal to work ferrets in most U.S States as you would think they could as that's what they are used for.
