Gouldy hope your not taking the pi s s as I am goin to try this lol
-
Always thought the layers pellets were all they need like a all In one food but will defiantly change things around and see what happens.
-
When I first got them they were laying on and off for about 3weeks then nothin. Will try the grit and thanks every one for ya comments
-
No grit but have plenty free ground to scratch about in
-
Basically feed them just pellets and kitchen scraps. No mixed corn at all. A think two were laying but now none at all. Could it be anything to do with worms or anything like that
-
Warm it up never heard of that before, will this not make the pellets go to mash?
-
Defiantly not laying yet my run has no we're to hide eggs and I check different times of the day and never any signs. Fenn hope your right as there costing a fortune to feed for nothing. Does any one feed old bread that's left over as scraps?
-
2 black rocks 2leg bars and the rest just brown hens not sure what. Keep 5 in separate runs to stop over crowding so thought egg eaten in two lots would be unlucky. A couple eggs now and then throng winter but hardly anything
-
Got ten chickens they were point of lay at the start of winter. I no they don't produce much with the dark night's and weather. But should they be laying now. Out of ten hens I'm getting no eggs?
-
I keep a few chickens my self down the allotment and would like to keep my self going with fresh birds instead of having to buy them. Maybe start selling a few to cover feed costs once I got the know how
-
Phill I was thinking maybe trying some fancy small birds but not sure what yet. Would like success before talking harder breeds or are they all pretty much the same to do?
-
Thanks for the help everyone. Will take the tips and give it a couple months then have a go. Is there any breeds you fellas advise to start off with?
-
How big an area would I need to rear about 6 chicks till they are ready for outside?
-
Patterdale would you mind telling me how exactly you do it as I have read loads of books and each have different views. Would like to hear it from some one that's tried and tested? Thanks
-
How many could you keep in say a 3ft fish tank or Hutch? Would they out grow that quick or stay in till there ready for outside?
-
Hi all just a few questions on hatching and rearing chicks. A have got a small incubator ready to hatch some chicks but was wondering of some ideas how to bring them on in brooders as I don't have a lot of room. Any ideas or pics would be great. Thanks for reading
-
I ain't got ferrets mate and don't no any one who has. was wanting him good on the lamp and a bit day time walking in the fields etc but would like to get him doin a bit of everything. cheers
-
cheers mate can't get more straight forward than that. lol. his basic training is coming on great really pleased with him. he seems a good steady dog to train. fingers crossed he will do the stuff.
-
fitchet. how would you go about it? I don't no any one else with dogs or ferrets for him to learn from so it's kinda hard. would you just start him off straight on the lamp?
-
ok fellas I realise now just to take time with him. just a lot of people put on hear that there young dogs are showing good sings. thought I might of been missing him out on things. hard to get goin when your new to this stuff.
-
what will happen to the dogs they have been took off the lads?
-
cheers lads. had the pup out a few times were there are plenty signs of rabbits but he hasn't showed any signs or interest. is this normal?
-
cracking looking dog there mate. have you always worked whippets what's your overall view of pure breeds? dog in the pic looks quite a size for a whippet measured ours the other day and is standing about 17 inches, is that about right for his age?
-
cheers for the advice fellas. just don't wanna let him miss out on anything. when you lot say moochIng what exactly is that. am I right in thinking just having a wonder about the fields and hitting lucky? I am new to all this sport. soz for the daft questions. lol
-
thanks for the advise mate was gettin a bit worried thinking I was leaving it late, always thought they needed to see what was goin on from a young age. never done any of this stuff before so a complete learning curve ahead. cheers
