Demand For Grey Partridge Poults???
Rabid replied to gamerooster's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Certainly a demand for them around here, I usually do a few shoots worth each year, also under broodies, and have had many comments about how the birds are much fitter, stronger, and go better than commercialy reared ones, I could easily do double and have homes for them -
The Worst Year Ever For Onions And Leeks
Rabid replied to jok's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
I have had the best year for onions and garlic, seems all my Roots went wrong, and runners were awful, but onions galore, leeks were superb and still going strong, garlic, I never had so much garlic as this year, tomatoes were unreal as well, and spuds, they done well, everything else other than a few beets were terrible, strange year all round for me. -
Yep, they both sell it, and needs to be on a prescription, thanks for the link, but nothing I didn't already know about it in there

Yes it's the same birds, they have been treated a couple of times by the vet, you can never get rid of it once you have it, all you are able to do is treat the symptoms and keep them healthy, they can go a year or more with no problems, or can have it every month, no way of knowing why or when, but when they are ok they are perfect, that's the reason I was surprised the vets would not prescribe it again without seeing the birds, last time I had to educate the vet on my co, they had to google it ! But now they know it will always keep coming back, they know I have it, why won't they prescribe i

Roundup, it's active ingredient is glyphosphate, as above don't buy the crap garden centres etc sell as it really is rubbish.

Does any one use it, or know best way to buy it without paying vets silly money ? I have a few birds that suffer with mycoplasma, it's a re occurring thing, yet even though the vets have agreed in the past that's the problem, and Tylan is the way to treat it, (and even supplied Tylan last year) and it will nearly always come back every year, they still want to see one of the infected birds for a £70 fee, just seems to me they are just trying to make a fortune off the back of it.

Always done my ducks wet, but never boiled them ever, in fact I never tried the scalding on anything. I can have a large duck rough plucked in 10 minutes pretty easy, Mrs does all the final cleaning of pins.

Sounds cheap to me what's been quoted so far, Bedfordshire are 90 quid for a pickup bed, I used to charge £220 for a 3 and a bit cubic metre trailer load of good seasoned ash and oak and had more orders than I could deal with, I packed that in two years ago and still they keep ringing, never advertised once, it was all word of mouth.

I like the first one in black

Strange that, I find ducks dead easy to pluck

Very nice birds, but by Christ they can fly, found one in the top of a dead walnut about 30 odd foot up, never seen it since !
-
Thanks, these are all well grown poults so hopefully no probs this year.

I got one a couple of weeks ago, sits happy at 90 on the motorway, pulls better than a train (I tow 3.5 ton on a daily basis and this is as good if not better than my Range Rover was), it's comf, easy to drive and the interior is actually better than I expected, down side, you can tell it's not a high budget built motor, and skippy on the back end till loaded, but I have done 1k in four days now and loving it more every day Taking it easy with then mate , but liking mine more every day also and i even fixed my little problem with a blob of super glue,so deffo cheap to fix as well ...

Bacon In The Making ( Spoilt For Choice )
Rabid replied to TWOTWOTHREE's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Oh spot on mate, lovely job, just the ticket, pigs are next on my list, once I got my head round it all. -
Just got myself a few turkeys, bronze heritage and Norfolk blacks, any one tried these before ? I was hoping to keep a few for breeding some more youngsters next year as well as the heritage birds are supposedly good for this.
-
Very good post, I spent years doing my birds tendons like that, until I was lucky enough to get a puller, love the idea of the washer/plucker, but I can imaging it would fair knock the bird about, looks almost too easy to be that simple with no problems. Always looking for new ideas, with about 30 meats to do, and now another 27 turkeys, I must love work. How do you guys go about the scalding, temps etc, as I have never tried it but heard it makes a huge difference.

Just picked up a trio of yokohama's, not what I was expecting or looking for, but was looking for a good home so thought I would try them out, still looking for other suggestions.
