  14. I was given this old picture a few years back , dated 1965 it reads - MIDGE champion terrier of the 7 fell packs , also written is "to jolly good friends " from all at ------- row , arle------ its been wet and faded so I cant make everything out , in the picture there are some show certificates ,, 1st prize midge , and on the next one is 2nd prize rocky , if this is of any sentimental value to anyone drop me a pm and I will get it to you.

  16. hi all , google GREYSTER some good info and pics , people have been breeding these for years , you wont believe what theyre using them for .
  17. well I seem to have sorted the problem !!! I put 3 golf balls in the nest and 3 on the floor , she went mad for 35 mins pecking away at each one then gave up ,, I have collected the 3rd egg off her today ,, happy days
  18. personaly I would set her in a decent insulated shed and I wouldn't think a lamp would be needed ,, jmo , atb belucky
  19. look for a model that is fully automatic ,, ie self turning and adjusts the humidity automaticly
  20. it could well be the diet !!! its the muffed Hennie pullet iv just got recently so it may have been lacking something , its on good quality layers pellets now and grit , but its gona get a mustard egg for good measure.
  21. caught a pullet eating an egg today , she laid her 1st yesterday off the perch as I was cleaning them out , I put a nest sight in and put another egg in it , I was feeding up today and seen the pullet with her head in the nest , I first thought she was pecking at the straw but no,, she had pecked a hole in the egg and was tucking into it , ant suggestions other than a roll away box ?
