would like to swap a brand new 5 metre cable for a 10 metre cable if anyone has a spare - or can let me know where I can get one for less than £10.81 (incl p+p) (evil)
It is an american system - I know people who have tried it - and failed as they couldn't get the youngsters through the moult and it ruined their young bird season .....!!
the 7 day old ones - no - they appear to have doubled in size overnight LOL !! (all the maples have disappeared!)
The 11 day old ones were rung several days ago
We bought two pairs of birds for stock - although the cocks are 08 - the hens are 09 - and possibly latebreds at that. One of the hens laid 2 quite small eggs, but they have hatched out - the youngsters were very tiny and at a week old tomorrow - I daresay it will be another week before they will be big enough to ring. I might add that it is highly likely that the hen was egg bound for a few days - as she laid both eggs the same day - and they hatched only 2 weeks (14 days ) after being laid - though the eggs were clean. The other pairs first eggs were clear. The youngsters are healthy looking - but still look about 2 or 3 days old as they were so small to start with - are they worth persevering with do you think?
You're going to have to wait Owen
I think the lighter the colour is - the sparser the down is (but not sure)
You should be able to tell in the next week or so !! Patience young man
I'd love to bring you lot down to earth ........
This may be a male only thread - but you sure are giving us girls a laugh (evil)(evil)(happy)(happy)
(In your dreams springs to mind (evil)(evil)(hehe) )
Whatever colour you might call it, its defo not a chocolate
I have a similar one - but more red with an underlying blue cheq. and just thought it was a red cheq ! (came from a mealie hen and a dark cheq cock, no jannsen in it)
