Already got mine (evil)

I've only ever seen one brown one before - a brown mealie (in the flesh that is) it seems a very uncommon colour apologies for 'hi-jacking' your thread - he looks a very nice bird

it's alright bragging but no use to anyone if you're not going to say where, is it?

You live in Wales (kewl)

where? Might havea run out if there is a possibilty of a nice day but if its near Barnard Castle and winding roads - I can only go there and back in daylight (shrug)

thats near me (evil)

I haven't bought any for a while Dicky Darky - name some farms where I can get some straights between Whitby and 20 miles South of Sunderland (Sunderland is too far (evil))

I wouldn't have thought cod liver oil was the cause - many people including myself use cod liver oil and don't have problems with blood quills

Cottonheat - what colour would you call that? it looks brown

can't you get a friend to collect - or go yourself - its not that far would be even cheaper if you've got a bus pass

try here - it tells you how to prepare samples http://www.finchaviary.com/Maintenance/FecalSmear.htm and shows some images coccidiosis towards the bottom of the page I think there are some links as well

I'm not telling (evil) I've made the other half order some more rings (shrug)

that is the only drawback - but as the feed is usually cleared in 10 minutes its not that much of a problem

our cocks picked their boxes in October - that is - the ones who didn't have one (youngsters) The hens will be paired when its time to breed - most will be going to the same cock and box anyway

I could never go to the public swimming baths because of the chlorine in the water which made me cough and my eyes water PS is anyone having trouble with this site at the moment it seems very slow - and posts aren't posting when you press 'post reply'

its the same - only with a mechanical stage I've never fixed it up to the computer - thats a job for early new year - to make room in the shed and fix it up in there its a strain on the eyes but otherwise good enough for the job

You could have took the price off the vent (evil) They're looking well David

I'd rather use the real thing with the dose on the bottle and play safe I don't think your experimentation is ethical to be honest - have you got a proper doseage for pigeons ?

£39.99 (evil) I've got one

mmm not exactly a 'no treatment regime' then

we can only assume she had paired to another hen and the egg was in the early stages of development and fertilised straight away when she was paired up there were no cocks in with the hens

we were surprised - and didn't expect the eggs to be fertile - but they were
