    My Uncle, He had ferrets, and a wee Cairn Terrier, which he used for rabbits and rats. My dad had a Russell he borrowed for rabbiting too. My Uncle took me out the most, he also had a working German Shepherd, and a wee Yorkie that thought it was a German Shepherd :-) RIP Roy :-)

    Not sure about that, but in them days they had the labour do do all the walls, unlike today. Some men built, some shaped stones, some filled in, and some brought stone to site. All using stone brought up by ploughing, and quarrying on site. I've seen some amazing walls, some very vertical ones. Some parts of the country they erected shelters over the walls, like a tunnel, and worked all weather's. The styles differ in just a few miles some places depending on stone. Lake district is lovely flat stuff, Yorkshire dales, big lumps of limestone. Hardy men back then, day in, day out, all weather

    A wee bit off gapping the other day. 10 mins after starting it the heavens opened and horizontal rain all day. I rushed to get it done so im not that chuffed with it. I reckon the new fence being errected plus traffic and pressure from stock has had an affect to the wall. A lot more gaps are forming all the way along. Space was restricted being next to the road when working. The wall is a single face most of the way up last 18 inch or so is double. Most walls are built double with random shaped stone with a layer of cover stones under the copes. Other walls are single boulder with some d

    Gamefowl breeders manual - volume 2 ( Kenny Troiano ). All for the back yard breeder, focusing on American fowl, but can be used for all fowl. Covering most subjects, easy to understand. I like it, others may not. It's what suits you. Lots of old books too for your collection. Check out Amazon, or flea bay, search Gamefowl books. Good luck :-)

    Hi mate, Can't help you out, but there are decent men on here, and about. I'm sure someone will see you right. Twobobdog1 has a thread on here with a good set up for internal pens, scroll through the older threads and maybe some ideas too. I would imagine later on in the season for birds, most folk will have birds paired up for breeding just now, and spare stuff later on. Eggs are your other option from good stock. Others may have different opinions. Good luck, and I hope you find what your looking for. Atb
