I am feeding a mixture and there is nothing left on floor ,the birds can only go in to feed 2 at a time ,where the food sits is like a shallow v so that it doesnt come to the actual front of hopper and they are kind of forced to stretch slightly ,its made of galvanised metal .Believe it or not i am pleasantly surprised.

I think i asked on here what fowk thought of hopper feeding well i started it about 10 days ago and i am fine pleased ,i thought they might pick and choose ,scatter ,and waste food but the hopper i got is about 600 high by 250 square it holds 10kg of corn 2birds can feed at a time .I got from Regency chicken feed hoppers ,so sorted!!

Jimmy i have bought from you before and would have jumped at these but i just bought a couple of hens a week ago ,maybe Arek will take them will see ,but good luck!!

Is it nae when it is predominant on the head ,and white in the wing flights.

Bright ,frosty and dry here.

Weather ok here for time of year not much wind to speak of just grey an damp.

Cold, grey an wet ,bleak.

Nice looking bird ,in great nick.DK Cheq Pied

I have left them to get on with it themselves as i have health problems and cant do as much as i would like but as you say it should sort its sel out.

The 2 year olds ok ,the yearlings a puckin nightmare they just wont pair so i can see a gie small team here.

Another great read ,true masters ,probably the only thing i will have in common with them is hopper feeding but one can dream eh!!!

I am just getting going again and the guys that are answering you give sound advice ,read articles ask questions ,gleen information ,then make your mind up is it sprint,middle distance,or long distance ,i am covering all catagories and if i get a few half good birds out of my lot i will be over the moon,good luck to you in what ever you do.

A bit frosty as yet ,update when day light comes in.8-45 Bright and sunny but frosty.

Ok thanks for information ,trying to put together distance stock team I have 2 pairs DK cheq from Bob MacDonald Fraserburgh 2 Kenyon Cocks and to cross on with them 2 hens Gust Taveirne &Frans Rigole for 1, and De Rauw Sablon for the other ,so will leave it at that for the moment i think,That will give me 4 pair.

On this one Walter you tell me??

What impresses me with this is the yearlings being flown out over 600 miles,had he a lot of birds to chance yearlings at this distance ?

Can anyone on here give some information regarding the Snydale Express lines ,who has them, what have they done ,distance flown etc,any insight would be helpfull thank you!.

Snow and drizzle showers,grey and bleak.

What was post ,could have been taken off by mistake.

Grand job ,well done .

What i think is worse,this i agree is bad,Is the rearing of so called wild lions etc keeping them in small compounds for rich guys so called hunters to come along and shoot them at the end of their so called safari .

How about makeing groves with router and use hardwood .A coach builder would make a grand job of this i am sure.

That was something special !!!!

Its rainy and dull not a great start to the day.update 12o-clock brighter but windy

Feather deplumeing mite i think we are talking about treat with Atroban from vet if you still get it imo.
