    Me and ma wee Chickadee stopped in Inverbervie on our way home from Stonehaven, there were a couple of 07 pigeons with ets rings on looking quite comfortable in the newsagents doorway across from the monument car park, if anyone is interested They may be yours or worth the catching

  14. Get scofolding poles and slide it along them, if you go over uneven ground put wood underneth the poles, you can move it over a wall this way , where are you in West Lothian, I have all the gear in Glenrothes if you need it
  15. Aye feed for "broilers" is different from feed for "layers" Broilers are bred soley for the table My family have worked and managed in both enterprises, maybe there are some that do it different as in farmers but the chicken giant like Marshal's, Eastwood's & Deans Broilers are fed and fattened as quick as possible but do't have a high fat content as customers like M&S want with the right ratio of fat and lean meat The origonal post was for layers pellets which are high in protein and calcium vital for egg laying Broilers pellets are high in protein and other ingreidients and contain growth homones
  16. Your right birds get used to anything I have one that comes and sleeps on the wood pile next to my table saw, I was up a ladder hammering and one landed on my leg and sat there quite happy
  17. Na, just want to know if there is a "dress" code ;)
  18. You better request "express check out" and a hold on breakfast incase you are incapacitated ;D ;D ;D Does the maids wear the gear?????????????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  19. Naaaa1 Bruno I respect a lot of your comments but this one you are bullsh##ing or misinformed. A good breed of chicken for laying will lay around 300 eggs per year but some lay a lot less, chichen farms run on a two/three year cycle depending on the breed and average out put per battery, they are then culled for the soup making or animal feed, the sheds are cleaned out and a new batch of pullets arrives We have had chickens laying good up to four years old Table chickens are days old then kept in a communal shed and culled about 20 weeks, they are culled and the whole shed cleaned out, customers like M&S stipulate food aditives allowed in the feed, I agree a pigeon may not suvive wholly on hen pellets due to them needing seed to keep the gizzard healthy but the are a great source of calcium and protein, feral pigeons live in selected areas and thrive well on non seed based food A chichen only lays every day because their eggs are taken away, if you left them they would lay a clutch and then get broody and incubate them
  20. CORRECT!!! YOU'LL COME HOME LOOKING LIKE THE NORTH PEIR GHOST AFTER A ROUGH NIGHT;D ;D ;D
  21. HELLOWWWWW, WHERE ARE ALL THE EXPERTS ON NATURAL AVIARY FLOORS :'( :'( :'(
  22. Na, she/we picked it up right Monthly cycles are common in a lot of species. An egg takes 28 days to form from an cell to a laid egg, so when you give antibiotics to a chicken its 28 days before you can eat their eggs after the antibiotics are "finnished" the course ay only be an injection of days
