Just as put pic of this hen today as a baby bloody things missing presumed dead

i hope she turns up :angry:

[Guest IB]

There's time yet, though might be shut out by nightfall. Had 2 'biting fingernails' episodes this year, both early on, first was a hen definite strike (a near miss) in my garden, she came back after 4 hours; second was a cock, and he was away for around 12 hours - if my memory is right.

[THE FIFER]

I got 2 good youngsters from a basics member had them out twice ok they had a fly around the second time, so next day let them out and never seen them to this day,i always expect to see them sitting on the loft, i think they may have got in with other birds and being hungry went down with them, i kept them hungry so as to get them in easy being strangers, but sometimes not a good thing with youngsters,

[OLDYELLOW]

well if she turns up which i doubt as its out of chariter for her shes usualy my first bird in , she wont be going out again i keep looking

[OLDYELLOW]

Well it's black, he didn't mention he shoved er up there to catch the bird. The birds feet he caught were 'ers.

 

Brilliant result (1)bird's back. (2) hole in wall looks better than wallpaper on it. Think there's another erdecoration job coming up.

well if was a starling i'd of been spitting feathers just kind of knew it was her back there she seemed to scrat everytime i stopped talking lol , biggest supprise was her jumping around loft when put her back in , thought first thing would of been food , but no was jumping from box to trap trying to get close to me , pigeons never stop amazing me on how robust they are
