limerick tumblers- breeding advice wanted
DUCKWING replied to CarraghsGem's topic in Fowl & Feather Talk
TOO LATE ......... PIGEONS FEED MILK THE FIRST FEW DAYS IF THE PAIR YOU PUT THEM UNDER HAS STOPPED FEEDING MILK THEY WILL DIE THE ONLY WAY TO FOSTER SQUABS IS TO SET BOTH PAIR OFF LAYING AT THE SAME TIME [ WITHIN 3 DAYS ] AND THEN SWAP THE EGGS TO THE FEEDER PAIR AND DISPOSE OF THEIR OWN , THE TUMBLERS SHOULD GO BACK DOWN AND LAY ABOUT 9 DAYS TIME IF THEY ARE FIT ........... I KNOW A FEW MEN THAT KEEP THESE AND THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM FEEDING THEIR OWN YOUNG ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, IF YOU WANT THE LIMERICKS OUT AND FLYING THIS SEASON PROPERLY YOU SHOULD BE NEARING T -

HI NEIL , WHAT I FOUND A BIG BONUS IN CONTROLING VERMIN IN AN AREA IS TO GIVE A FEW OF THE LADS LARSON TRAPS AND CALL BIRDS SET UP READY .......... THESE MIGHT ONLY BE SET IN SOMEONE GARDEN BUT THEY WORK IN THAT LOCATION ........ LARSONS CAN BE MADE FROM SKIP WASTE MOST OF THE TIME FOR VERY LITTLE OUTLAY ......... HAVING 10 TRAPS WORKING OVER A LARGER AREA RATHER THAN YOUR 5 OR 6 HITS THEM MUCH HARDER .......... BELIVE IT OR NOT I OFTEN MAKE A FEW NEST BOXES IN MY SPARE TIME AS WELL [ what spare time ! ] ITS BUILT UP OVER THE YRS TO OVER 350 IN THIS AREA .

The dogs don't kill the Deer. They catch and hold them. Sounds like you know an awful lot about it though!!! You want to get a better dog then................................. If the dog isn't actively trying to kill it he ain't gonna be HOLDING for very long. I have seen dogs kill all species of deer up to sika size with very little fuss except on the biggest of bucks then it gets interesting Running deer was a passion of mine pre 2005 but rabbits are my only game now but here is my opinion on things for what it's worth. The hare is the ultimate test of a running dogs speed &am

There's no art to fox work had terriers at hunt service and with loners who give me feed back..and as stated before have had a recent report my x stud now a pet lost to ground on foxy loxy. Infact his son tylos was to ground for 2 hours at a fox. The lad dug him out and gave the fox best. Good enough for me the dog though bred from many none earth dogs did what he thought was right...nearly cost the lad his dog mind but thats a different story. And in true irish fashion promtly lined his patterdale with him !! THERE SPEAKS A PURE BULL SHITTER ............ JUST LIKE THE MAN THAT
