Guest JonesyBhoy Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 I seen then for the first time today.. they're not as bad as i was expecting.. Only time will tell if they do break eggs etc etc.. 2010 tho boys.. need to accept change and move forward..
OLDYELLOW Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 i thought they were going for the ring with a slit in to slide chip in these or one with a hole for a peg chip , they look like trouble , i.e chip coming out and catching and be a hinder to birds come breeding time or snagging why cant R.P.R.A get good advice from its membership

Guest tom123 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 the dutch have used these in 2009 and didnt seem to have any problems
Guest lenwadebob Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 They should be supplied with a blank insert in them, that can be removed by those with etc. I can only see problems with these rings, possibility of broken eggs, ETS chips slipping out, lugs breaking off. We need progress but the RPRA's attitude on one step forward and two back is what is halting progress in a positive way.
Guest bakes Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 the dutch have used these in 2009 and didnt seem to have any problems belgium rings 2009 yellow with an square cut out the back off the life ring for ets chip no skirt bud all the best.
demolition man Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 I use the unikon Ets system and they do not even have insert's for the rings this year, so why change the life rings if the ETS company's don't even have the chip inserts, keep the old style life ring. jmo Regards

Guest portmuffins Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 rings r undersized and hav sharp edge on them will damage eggs and could catch on things

billt Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 the new rings for 2010 whats your opinion on them with ledges on for ets..what would happen if you filed lugs of rings ...your opinion please....i use a t3.. will eggs get broke when birds are pired in 2011 seaon with hese rings on Wouldn't alter the rings, RPRA rules 94b-96. birds must carry an unaltered ring
Guest karl adams Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 what do you think of the new rings im hoping they don't do no damage to the eggs next year when they are sitting
greenlands Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 Just heard last night that there are members from this area who have joined the NWHU to get their rings.I haven't got mine yet but my mate says he doesn't like them.Will pass comment when I get them.
micci Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 I sent a last years Dutch ring that the owner didn't want back, to 'Blue boy' on this site who collects rings. The ring was full of cracks, and i thought at the time..i hope our 2010 rings are not going to be like this.And they are, im sure Blue boy will verify that they are crap
blackdog Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 got mine today they look smaller make sure to ring about 5 days or you will struggle to get them on as they are smaller, they will be problems when birds are a few year older as i can see them being too tight :-/
paddymac Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 I don't like them either, I think the edges are too sharp and may cause problems with nesting birds. Thinking of filing off the ets clips not too sure about the rules though regarding tampering with the rings.
