i`m starting this weekend weather looks good for a week at least.

its snowing heavy here in tewkesbury too been on since about 11 pitching slightly on the grass now .

talking about straw and hearing people say about it being jaggy for the birds in the wild they use twigs and sticks surly they are jaggy for the birds .

it is free i downloaded it the other night and seems good and easy to use .

do my old birds after training and same with young birds better to wait than waste money jabbing birds you might lose.

what i do if they call me i always ask them to hold and then put the phone down and carry on doing what i was as if they ring you its them that has to pay the call .

the server will crash when it gets to 210 lol

2 of mine are 12 inches off the ground so the dog can get under it the lil shed is on railway sleepers but the ground is hollowed out underneath so when it rains it fills with water but the loft stays dry vermin wont nest in places that will flood .

i had this last year with a pair both cock and hen would sit tight in the bowl with no eggs try floating some eggs under them once they have reared one round they got on with laying their own after that .

nope he is pulling the beak ;D it does work done it myself last year this way out of 23 young birds on 1 was wrong .

the way i see it is if a non fancier contacts the owner a fancier can collect and hold the bird ready for pick up as you all know sometimes the transport aint going your way for 2 or 3 days also its better for a fancier to pick up a bird cos a non fancier would not know a healthy bird from one close to death at least if we collect the bird we can let the owner what condition the bird is in sometimes its better to bin a bird than spend £30 to get a bird back just to die either in transit or when it arrives back home.

if there is no holes in your loft but have dowels get them wired up as i had this last year since i wired up all the doweled fronts and air holes no more problems also check behind nest boxes etc too .

the thing is all these people that are moaning about these new rings always say i can see eggs being broken by them for gods sake your young birds wont have eggs yet they are too young wait and see when they go down on eggs before you complain . most complainers are anti ets anyway .

ive got one of the eagle owls that i move from post to post the sh gives my garden a wide birth . strange thing is the nursing home has loads of white doves down the road and they don`t seem to be hit very often either.

i put my hens in on boxing day and all 8 pairs have been sitting 2 eggs for 6 days now .

we use to get stagers with our cows its caused my a magnisium deficiancy

my hens went in loft on boxing day all made nests after 2 days 3 pairs from 9 sitting 2 eggs and the others are standing over 1 egg lights on at 3am till 8.30am

read it properley adam 50%+50% =100% the pellets are 19%protein not another 19% added on so with wheat being 15.2% and the pellets being 19% protien that is 34.2% protein

i mix my own 50% wheat with 50% high protein 19% pheasant rearing pellets birds do well don`t get fat and young sqabs can digest it well.

just been on the phone to a friend and its been and still is snowing in reading

i`m in gloucestershire and when i`m drilling the corn in i always have around a dozen following the tractor in the field .

when you go to your club next year with that bird they can change the sex on marking night without having to change the number of the ring etc etc .

our sec had one in his loft he got cuts all up his arm and on his face but the bird looks much better now its been stuffed and mounted ;D
