if more and more members join the NEHU as they are to buy rings and the radius increases then the RPRA will have to do something or price themselves out of the market. Pete, from 1st Jan 2010, transfers £2, foreign ring reg £1, Distances £2, Loft locations £3, Lib site £2.50,

yep, and they can change rules, increase fees etc without consulting the membership!

who's seen page 3 of this weeks BHW? When did they pass the increases in transfer fees etc? Another rip off!

hen! Jimmy, like you say, nice tusks! ;)

i need 16 german boxes, the weekend will do, any chance?

what else are you making?

they look good to me, what size are they and when are you delivering them?

and whats the bad news?

A couple of questions there! I let mine out morning and night, excercise early morn then light feed in then evening followed by main feed. When they are bunched up and excerciseing well then think about training. I prefer to let mine out for excercise before taking them on short training tosses, it takes the sting out of them and i've found it reduces losses, the birds also home quickly knowing its feed time.

that reminds me of a pair I had back in the early 80's, the hen had 7 x 1st for me her nestmate was picked up in Bristol trying to drink from the hose while a guy was washing his car, next time sent training ended up in the workshop at Slough Gasworks eating the fitters sandwhiches! Gave up trying to train him after that!

they will after a few years become imune to it! We used to use the pour on via the back of the nect, the adult's stayed lice free so did there youngsters for the whole season but after a couple of years if lice reappeared they seemed imune to the ivomec!

best breeders have been gift birds as they have been from the best and not cast offs which are often all that is available to buy.
