Went up to feed the doos a wee while ago and delighted to see my blue cock that I sent to Peterborough on Saturday. Well down in weight but looks fine otherwise. Made my day
I started single tossing a few birds a few weeks ago, every one of them home every day. Any time I put them up together was guaranteed to loose at least one. Problem is the time it takes.
I wouldn't put anything on a tick as they can apparently regurgitate the blood they have sucked back into whatever it is they are in, dangerous if they have limes disease. Always pull them out with the wee tool.
Dont worry Derek I'm not kidding myself on. Just getting a doo here in reasonable time makes my day. One day I will get one from France but it's still a few years away, one day though
