  1. what do you want to hatch?i might have space for 1 broody to hatch some eggs for you. I'm not entirely sure mate, have you any decent fertile eggs knocking about spare?
  2. Had the same thing happen last week, not a mark on him and has always been healthy free range bird.
  3. Don't fancy hatching some eggs for me do you mate? I wish one of mine would go broody so I can build my flock up again. Down to three hens now.
  4. Dunno about corns but the trusty opinel does the job on any dead skin I want rid of.
  5. I tried one and suffered with condensation, I stuck a board across the bottom and drilled holes under that but it was still getting the bedding damp.
  6. Do its lady bits taste of strawberries?
  7. I'd take them too if you could smuggle a trio of quail in with them;)
  8. Not a bad price at all that moll. The pet shops that sell birds near me are a joke with their prices and what they stock.
  9. Out of interest moll how much did they quote and was it a door to door job? Pm if you prefer
  10. I've heard that about linnet cocks getting aggressive when they are in condition, mine is steady as a rock at the mo which is what made me think about getting a hen for him and seeing if i could get them steady enough to cage breed.
  11. Only reason I asked mate is that the finch noted mules are worth more, imo the whole idea of breeding a finch mule is to have it finch noted but a more reliable singer with hybrid vigour but as long as your happy with the bird that's the main thing.
  12. If I don't get any mules this year I'm gonna pack in trying and just breed Irish fancies and possibly linnets, got 3 muling pairs this year so fingers crossed.
  13. Only difference is the collar size and in some cases the depth it goes to. I use my mk3 on my terrier coz the transmitter just slides off the ferret strap and onto the terrier strap.
  14. I'll be able to comment in 9 or 10 months hopefully when I've had this spaniel cross out doing a bit of allsorts;)
  15. Discipline, people will recommend allsorts but a terrier will take the piss if it knows it will get away with it. A more timid animal needs a softer approach but terriers in general are proper rum feckers
  16. I doubt you'd get them much cheaper than the greyhound man mate. He might do them cheaper if you were buying a few though?
  17. Any birds going? Native cocks especially
  18. Partial to a bit of beastiality are you?
