  1. Try and find one from a reputable source mate and you should be ok. It might be better to get a youngster at the end of this season and try again next year.
  2. how quick are the results Probably not quick enough with a little bird like that mate, once their fluffed up they tend to be on their way out.
  3. I couldn't tell you what I look for in a kit but there's usually one that catches my eye in a litter, if your getting em off someone else make sure their healthy and friendly and especially not skulking in the nest box.
  4. Totally agree bud. My dog done exact the same, even chewed through a covert grow op that was goin on in the cupboard. Lots of dough lost believe me. Plants are gone, dogs still here and she's sound now. Not the dogs fault. The OPs scum are you a fan of prison? He'll be fine Bri as everybody uses pseudonyms on here. The dogs ate the evidence anyway:)
  5. Be careful mate because some hobs can be ruthless feckers when their in season. Not many hobs with their nackers out are sociable.
  6. Sophie Howard is everything you'd ever need in a bird, like the baby bears porridge
  7. What you feeding him on mate? Only thing I can suggest is giving him baycox or summat and keeping him somewhere warm.
  8. I think most show folk colour their mules red regardless of what they are so if you got some yellow colour yours would possibly stand out, dunno if it would help though. Not into showing birds but I think mules bred off Norwich are preferred and yours may be too big for the mini mule class.
  9. The place near me I get POLs off said the black rock are more expensive because they lay longer, the ones I have had have laid similar amounts to the warrens. So do the speckledys and light sussex lookalikes they sell. The white stars (leghorn types) lay massive white eggs in comparison to their body size and lay a good amount too.
  10. I'll get some more pics up in a week or so when this present batch of mules have fledged and the next lot that are deffo goldie mules will have hatched.
  11. I HAVE NO PEA THROATED FINCHES , I HAVE HAD them in yrs gone by , and never bred a coloured bird . IN my room the canaries dictate the coloured birds , the present line goes back to 97 with little outcross . they consist of norwich and yes diamorphic , bred tight . i have bred from pure diamorphic and the results ratio wise are not has good has my line , the nests from my own line are lways 90 percent coloured variegatedand some hens 100 percent variegatd this line produces more coloured variegated than norma;ls now , each and every season the results have been improved on time dedication an
  12. Beddy parks looking better matey
  13. Its brilliant mate and all because I stumped up the cash and bought another goldie. Got home quite late with him so popped him in with the hen and switched everything off for the night and the next day he was feeding her already, as soon as she sat he went in with the other who's got 5 eggs to him and now he's in with a fancy who's building like mad
  14. I've done what I set out to do, goldie mules, finally. My gloster that bred me my first linnet mule has produced my first goldie mule too. My little red hen I bred last year is on a clutch of them too, she's earnt herself a rest after these
  15. If she's got your finger in her mouth press on her tongue firmly but not to hurt just so its uncomfortable for her, they soon try and spit your finger out and decide to not grab your fingers any more.
  16. That hen sounds a right slapper I've got 4 weaned linnet mules now, 3 about 8 days and 1possible goldie mule the same age. Waiting to candle 5 eggs to see if the goldies worked his magic on her and the linnet is back in with his favourite fife hen for the rest of the season and she will have layed her third egg in the morning.
  17. OBOE'' was M.R dog from liverpool.. TRAVELER'' was J.F dog also from liverpool..

  18. Worked with mine, they put up with a lot too when out for a walk with a pup swinging off their ears which I don't think they would take as well at home.
  19. Be prepared for lots of wingeing piss and shite and if its anything like our pup nicking stuff all the time and being a bloody Houdini what you got mate?
  20. It's like a real life me, myself and irene. Thick fuckers!
  21. It's mad the struggle people have to go through to get a bitch lined but you can guarantee if she got out some scraggy arsed cur would nail her first time with no trouble or ruptured cocks or anything.
  22. Can you not put the mules under the hen with the duff eggs mate? It's surprising what you can get away with moving stuff around under hens when you need to. I put chicks under a hen that had only been sat a week and them eggs under the hen that had hatched the others and she sat again for the remaining time and hatched the second eggs.
  23. What's lathom like John? I've been there to buy fish but never fished it, when I went it was that busy lads could have held hands they were that close together.
  24. Yes mate, if I'm out and about skinning one I just put the leg over the corner of summat and smack it and they break clean enough.
