Well having come home from lodging last night had a nice surprise this morning.....First eggs
I wasn't expecting any until spring but seems the recent warm spell might have nudged them to start producing. Doubt it will continue if the temps drop again but its another milestone. These will be eaters until probably march then will start incubating a dozen every 6 weeks. Depending on fertility rate I may end up getting a bigger incubator.

I put my back out yesterday again. Thing is I know what makes it a risk, I know how to stop not being a risk, but I go in a cycle because of work and other things!
When I am eating well and exercising regularly I have no issues whatsoever. I keep this up while work is quiet.
When work gets silly busy my exercise and eating well goes out the window, usually twinned with increased drinking, longer hours, more travel and sat on my arse longer days.
Site I'm trying to hand over next week has been hectic for about 2 month now and I have been all but living there. On Monday I said to one of the lads on site, my back is guna go soon because i knew I wasn't keeping up the maintenance.
Low and behold on Wednesday pulling some cables for a genny....POP.
Had my back go a number of times now since f***ing it up when I was 20, so I knew this was only half a POP which might be recoverable. I'm struggling and in pain but not completely crippled. I can manage if I keep moving.
For me personally I've tried drugs, acupuncture, physio, chiropractor (very very expensive). The only LONG TERM fix is being healthy!
When I eat well and exercise I have zero issues. I'm not talking hours in the gym, good brisk walk first thing in a morning 20-30mins or so then some cardio or free weights or just stretching. Mainly its about getting into a regime and making a good habit of it.
Everyone is different but for me personally when I'm being consistent with exercise I have no issues at all. That's already my plan once my back is fixing this time.
Then will go into next cycle at end of March as next job comes to a close!!!!

That’s cheap for killing mate, €50 each here.
Im going to have a go at butchering my own next time.
Cant be bothered with the rigmarole of home killing, for 50 notes it’s not worth the hassle.
Grinding pork will kill most mincers available in shops, I know because I’ve tried, that’s a job for a proper commercial mincer.
How's your place coming on wilf? Think last I saw you had just got them black faced sheep, did you end up getting cattle/pigs?

I know what you mean. But it comes down to money and by and large public are oblivious to what happens behind the scenes. Like chickens a free range over a tenner compared to to three quid one. Some people have no choice and others would prefer few more beers than worry about. It’s like any thing intensively grown from meat to veg. The flavour difference compare to home grown is so huge it does make you wonder what they do to make things so tasteless. Had joint of home reared pork other day. Flavour was 10/10 compare to cheap bit out of Tesco flavour is down to 3/10 . The difference is huge. That goes from beef to spuds the huge gap in flavour between home grown
Dont disagree pal and its wasn't about judging what people can afford. We just can't be hypocritical about the chinks with dogs when we do the same with most animals. It only upsets us because we don't see dogs as food. Same as French with horses, they have horse farms attached to abbottoirs.
Haven't tried my home grown yet....looking forward to it though!

What religion would you follow on your island?
None.
I would look for water, shelter, food.
I would enjoy some peace from the wife.
Hopefully get a few yrs out of it before a passing plane accidentally found me, then I had to go back to real life and convince people I wanted to be found, really wanted.

I disagree
Mankind is the curse of mankind.
We are f***ing awful and only getting worse.
I would love to live on an island with no c**t else, don't think I would worry to much other than shelter, food and water. All of which is available for free but we have been told over years that they aren't?!
Told by people that don't want us to realise that all is available for free!!!!
Anyway, it's not religion, it's the same everywhere

Also the immunity to anti biotics that has been forecast for years is due to WHAT IS IN THE FOOD CHAIN not what antibiotics you are taking!
They feed animals antibiotics pre slaughter, not because they are ill but to up their weight because they carry water!
Had this first hand off of 3 different pig farmers. 2 retired, 1 current.

This thread has really struck a cord with me. This is why I am raising my own meat. Have any of you complaining researched the UK commercial meat industry? No different to the dogs in the original video only sub in pigs or chickens or whatever.
The UK supermarket meat market is shocking and wrong, poorly regulated and just forced to grow as fast a possible for commercial gain. Not for GOOD MEAT.
Watch a doc on Netflix called Hogswood. Don't agree with what/how they did it.......but can't argue with the footage.
Cant talk about chinks mistreating dogs for meat when we do exactly the same with other animals. Buy from a supermarket and this video is what you are buying.

An old pal of mine owned what was probably the last old fashioned game butchers in Newcastle. I told him how I butchered roe; he said he would do them for free for me. I asked what was in it for him. He said I waste so much, he could still give me more meat from a carcass and have enough left for venison sausages and burgers to make a few quid.
Always best to leave it to the professionals!
Cheers.
Exactly why I want to pay a butcher mate rather than DIY. That was always my intention. Want to maximise what I get from these.

Is it a fixed price for kill and butcher and you get them back in bags of ready to cook pork.
Been quoted 25quid each pig for slaughter and cut down middle, so 50quid and could collect 4 half pigs. The place I want to use hasn't given me a quote yet on butchery, it depends on what you want, if you want sausages etc (which I do) then price goes up.
Not really sure what to base it on but I expect a skilled butcher would have job done in an hour. Sausages take more time grinding mixing etc and cost of casing which is where the cost is.
I had in my head a couple hundred quid all in for both pigs and plenty of sausages....Will let you know when I find out!

You having any trouble with foxes and rats mate
No issues with foxes yet, though I don't doubt they are visiting every night. I'm guna stick some wildlife cameras up to see.
We do get rats here, not over run with them but with us backing onto a farm they are here all time. I've noticed a point where they have been getting in the external run and put a trap there, had one so far. No signs of them getting in chicken shed.
