probably found a mate and gone to nest you may be feeding a family shortly congratulations.

can we have a meet up of pb members

there is another way if you take the stock eggs away from them as soon as they lay put them somewhere safe until the feeders lay then slip them to the feeders, no heat on them whatsoever while they are waiting on the feeders to lay .a friend of mine experimented with this and his findings were he could store eggs up to 3 weeks and they would still hatch.

hi peter try kings of Wishaw near Tesco bottom cross 1" 1/2"or most other sizes i got 4m 1m £12 its on marshel street where the old dole was ;)

don;t buy get good friends my tip is make sure the loft is bone dry or that's where your probs will start non drinker ;)

leave them where they are the cock has to be there or the hen will leave the nest after a couple of days you will find they take turns at sitting 18 days till hatching ring young at 5-7 days old put feed pot at nest so the young can see the parents eating when they are about 15 days old. 25 days till weaning move yb to yb section dip their heads in the drinker to let them know where the drinker is watch them for a couple of days if their eyes are closing they are not drinking dip their heads in again they will do the rest. good luck geo.

the last bird i had killed was at 2pm so at this time of the year i don't think there is any set time

good luck young man

Andy hibernates sept until march

could have been pecked keep him at home he's done his bit

totally disagree a yearly dose means exactly what it says I bet the ones that advised a double dose are suppliers. if your advised to take 2 aspirin you don't take 4 we give the suppliers enough money.do it twice and it will suddenly become compulsory by the powers that be.

have a look at all the mixes at tailors choice

I'm afraid its the RSPB and the RSPCA that decide what should be dead and what should be alive like the hedgehogs that had to be removed from a Scottish island and a badger cull. also that eagle owls [which are native to Britain] shouldn't be allowed to live, who the hell do they think they are.start a fund for fines ,and do our own thing we aint going to get any help.by the way I live in hope and sign all petitions 6 pigeons killed in this area this week none are mine they don't get out not safe
