Had a 62lb ex-track bitch myself a few years ago... I was probably extremely lucky more than anything but that bitch did everything..no problem with livestock or getting knocks/ electric wire.. did r,h,f,d.. and did them all first time she ever saw them... a greyhound with a brain was the only way to describe her

A young trio of Hint x Brazilian I bred this year fed that mix i talk of

I try to get a balance of about 16% protein.. Pigeon conditioner and alround mix are two different things neil...conditioner is small oily seeds..very rich and alround mix is a mixture of grains and beans... I totally agree with you on free ranged birds picking all sorts..its the best way to rear birds imo but not the easist.. I know a few lads feeding rabbit feed in a mix aswell for the alfalfa..Curdog, yep agree with the pigeon conditioner and some folk swear on the soaked oats.
But, gamefowl need a constant source of protein IMO and not just at certain times of the year.
Free range fowl probably get a lot more protein than you'd think by eating invertebrates and even mice etc. but fowl kept in pens or strings need a protein supplement.
When I used to have a great supply of free minced beef I used to give each bird a small ball of mince most days and when they could smell it coming they'd nearly take fingers and all. Gamefowl love meat.
There is however a train of thought on feeding too much protein early in a game cocks life as it can lead to trouble later in life, but that's open to debate.

Also seeing as the Irish Hare is a protected Animal..I believe introducing the Brown hare could dwindle the numbers of pure irish hares as well making hybrid crosses
They would survive perfectly well in the Irish countryside as there's a small population of Brown Hares in the North but for a club affiliated to the ICC to do it they would probably be breaking the law and it would also give ammunition to the antis.just want to know we often hear about driven hare shoots and 100s of hares being shot on estates in a season over in england.has any legal irish coursing club or clubs or any one indivudal ever tried to catch these hares for release in ireland.would they survive.i know they are a different breed of hare to whats here in ireland. it just seems to be an awful waste of beautiful running machine.

Was just wondering what are the advantages of droppers over pure breds? i,ve seen some pups avertised like labrador X esp I don't know much about gundogs but what are the advantages of this cross? Don't they both do completley different jobs?

Alrite lads i,ve been looking at hide nets and not quite sure what one to buy..what do ye find the best and also what size? there'll just be 2 of us shooting in the hide..

Alrite lads was looking at greyhound data and i can't get over the price of coursing greyhounds compared to track greyhounds..for pups,sablings or adult..i would of thought that it would have been the other way around due to there being more tracks in uk and ireland compared to coursing meets..can anyone shed some light on this...
Generally fewer coursing pups bred so more expensive, they are normally bred from top end bitches and the few top sires are expensive , there is a large amount of trackers bred from lesser quality bitches and a lot of track studs are available free or very cheap until they are proven,
the price of coursers normally comes down as soon as the season finishes and you can then pick them up for a few hundred euro
thanks for that fella..

yes i think he needs to go out with his local pack and learn the crack..he'll soon see the knacks and faults hounds do (babbling,cutting hunts,flinging etc.) to get a good pack together takes alot of time and effort and hard culling..best of luck

Why not just get a pup from proven irish coursing bloodines?
