    I am down to my last ferret which is 6 years old, anyone planning any kits this year of smaller type Jill's?, I could do with a couple. 

    I'll be breeding a Jill or two.

    Smallish sandy Jill and small albino Jill to a med sized hob, not massive thing

    I'm north east england, Middlesbrough way, how far from you.

    A lad on my allotments has 20, I can get you some. He mainly has hens but I'm sure there will be a cock amongst them

    Do you race the whites? 

    Last year I bred just 2 whites. I rung them and raced the pair.

    Lost the cock, still have the hen.

    I'll race her this year again.

    I'm not sure about her lineage, but the other pairs I have are from a racing line so interested to see how they do

    Mine are also currently on blankets I usefully change to plenty of straw around mid October but with it being so mild I think I'll wait until next month so that they feel the benefit..

    Do you find they get it all over the pens much? the straw

    I know its probably been asked multiple times but this forum could do with some life 😆

    How many folk use heaters in their kennel beds and if so in what form? Tubular ? Bulb?

    And what bedding do you all use?

    Mine currently are on blankets, half temped to change them onto something loose for winter for a more of a snug nest.
    Straw? Shredded paper?

    That's sum loft that puts my converted shed to shame 

    Pigeons dont care mate.
    Many succesful flyers still and have raced to garden shed. If the birds are happy and fit, theyll make it home

    A pal of mine is bang into racing pigeons spends fortunes on them from all over Europe, we tried to get a young lad close to me into it but he only wanted to keep white ones 🙄.....Logans i think they were called......packed it all in after he kept losing them to Sparrowhawks,shame as it seems an interesting hobby.

    Its a great hobby.

    Just very time consuming and expensive
