    my neighbour used to have a big cross breed like a staff but massive. was locked in kennel all day when he was working used to bark constantly all day. as the streets we live in are quite tight, fish bowl type houses. it was like the dog was actually in our front room. never complained my self but the busy bodies of the street did. this went on for about two year maybe more and nothin could be done as it wasn't doin it at unsociable hours. apparently!!!

    not much they can do mate. my brother had this problem he Had visits from r s p c a but they said the dog was fine and very well looked after so neighbour took it up with the noise people and there isn't much the can do if it's between the hours of 7am and 11pm pretty much let him bark. lol

    spot on thanks for the advice can't wait to get goin next year and give it another go. bred some nice birds this year, my first attempt lol. think I will let them do there own thing next year and use my cages for some canaIrIes just got my self lovely pair of red factors they look nice fit birds. but will keep my eyes open for more. this bird keeping is addictive. lol

    do you find letting them breed like that is better than pairing them up in cages? I tried pairing in cages this year and was very disappointed to the amount of young that hatched and actually survived.

  13. johnpop
    classes are no good to me as my work pattern would mean I would miss every other weeks. was hoping to just potter about in my spare time now that the weather is turning bad. would love to get it sorted and make a top job. cheers
  14. johnpop
    so apart from the money side of it and having to clean them out there was nothing wrong with the actual hatchings ie the health of the birds and growth etc. what poultry do you keep?
  15. johnpop
    fox when you say you done them this time of year before what exactly did you have trouble with? just curious as you seem dead set against It that's all. what do you keep?
  16. johnpop
    chill out fellas lol. was just wanting to have a go with me son let him watch them hatch and stuff he is only two but is loving our allotment we keep chickens, tumblers and just started breeding budgIes this year and he loves being down there getting dirty and learning. just thought the hatchings could be somethin to do over winter now the weather is bad.cheers
  17. johnpop
    cheers lads thanks for the advice looks like al have to put my new toy away till next year. was getting all excited at hatching some out for the little lad but will wait till Jan. cheers
  18. johnpop
    no bother its advice I'm after, but if there no good this time of year then why is there so many fertile eggs for sale this time of year? as I said I've never done it before!!!
  19. johnpop
    yeah will bring them on in a brooder with heat lamps. if there not set till January this means they won't be laying till the back end of summer will they? any help is great as never done it before and would like to get into it a bit. what's the best to start off with ie good hatch rates and easy to rear and stuff?
  20. johnpop
    if there set January then there not gonna be good to lay till the back end of the summer then they won't lay much through winter with the dark nights etc or am I wrong? only just starting so any help is great. what's a good breed to begin hatching, ie good results easy to rear?
  21. johnpop
    just got me self a incubator. is it worth hatching some out now so they will be ready to lay straight away next spring or are winter hatchings no good?
  22. johnpop
    was thinking if I set them away now by the time they hatch and become pol they will lay all next year from early on. is this no good?
  23. johnpop
