  1. 124 or there abouts to me, looking forward to it ;D
  2. The last couple of years I had a few at different sizes but this year none. So far anyway. Ive decided just to let the birds get on with it, when I was less experienced I think i was maybe getting to involved and disrupting the birds. Best hatch Ive ever had despite the colder weather. Al.
  3. We have a similar system in the Lifeboat here, we can send a text to everyones phone at once from an email, hasnt let us down yet but as suggested you cant be sure the person has recieved and read it. Handy system though. Al.
  4. Just locked him in his box Mick and let him out when I was able to stop in the loft for a wee while, if he started his nonsense he was boxed up again. After a wee while he seemed to get the message and was no more bother, he did rear cracking healthy YBs. He was a yearling then. I dont think I would go through the same now unless I knew the doo was worth it. Too much hassle really.
  5. I had a nightmare with one last year, persevered though and he is fine now. If it was another bird I would have got rid of him as he cost me a couple of weeks in lost eggs but i liked the look of him and was keen to get a few rounds of him.
  6. Just up to take the wee fella to his football, playing in Lenzie today, cant leave Oban myself so will do a bit in the loft, get the birds out too as the weather looks not bad
  7. Well done right enough Tam, and Sammy, enjoyed the read. Al.
  8. I had a similar experience with Frank last year and am very greatful for the help,advice and the doos!!!!!!!!!! Good on you Frank. Al.

    gutted

    What a shame for a cracking doo. Put slug bait mixed into a paste on the corpse but be sure to keep the rest of the doos out the way.
  11. Dont know about that pal, just hoping to get them coming the distance to me then we can take it from there. Pics are from late last year but they are all still a picture
  12. Thanks Jonesy, hes paired to a cracking hen from Frank.
