  3. stock that arent let out arent prey to hawks either so if you have paid alot of money there safer inside , but as shes just starting i would recommend waiting a while and getting ybs then she cant get her birds accustomed to her and enjoy them having there freedom

  10. i dont like plastic bags any sunlight / dampness and it sweats the worse seeds be sunflower and safflower they'll look ok on outside but be mouldy on inside
  11. came across this article thought might show us all a thing or two most best birds are usualy of unwanted pairings and how good are these hyped up birds abroad ? have a read of this article http://schaerlaeckens.mikehopman.nl/pages/leesartikel.php?id=126
  12. if thats the going price think everybody should sell them :X
  13. sorry to see you go Sammy
  14. put in to editor of BHW and let others know , im sure he can dna cock fer proof
  15. he might of hads some sperm frozen :X :X :X :X ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  16. 2 weeks before and through out breeding with the cooler tempertures it keeps well for up to 3 days and i stir it through thoroughly and it takes the appearance of week milk grated cuttle fish can be added also ( disolve with lemon juice but not at same time as the yoghurt ) , as for yoghurts used it must be a live natural yoghurt can be found in most supermarkets i use Longley farm one from morrisions Linseed is good to use sparingly during raising young birds as aids there development a couple of egg cups full to feed per day is enough for 30 birds or there abouts
  17. another consideration is stock birds if kept as prisoners bones thin and lack calcium, in order to lay nice healthy eggs with nice shell , i give my birds live natural yoghurt in there drinker and this helps to get nice shinny eggs
  18. however pairing up time can be stressfull for the birds and canker can flair up during the pairing up period , some cope better than others and individual treatment of pairs when they've sat both eggs if need be this is to ensure the health of the adults to be A1 as the young birds need there parents to be in the best shape to rear them well in the wild if parent ail the nest would be unviable sometimes only one yb surviving , if your birds arent right for the job before rearing they will struggle wet nests ectra
  19. will be taking a dropping sample to my Avian vets very shortly and a bird for swabs , they seem to be in good healthy state and at this time of year as not very warm should have very little to ail from and no cross contamination from the baskets , all medicines i use are from my vet as most off the shelf products are only half the strength as prescription only medicines , so that people treating blind dont over use the products but if half strength then aint doing birds much good by treating blind and it not been the correct strength for the job
  20. up early goodnight
  21. i think the reason is once there ranging well they need putting in the basket like all young they either learn the ropes quick or there development is retarded jmo
  22. ill post it on utube ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  23. i tend to look at what ybs they've left behind first if none left i try to find fault in the parents if go through moult well id split them , if were struggling when rest of birds werent id get shut there and then its just the matter of finding a suitable partner but after 3 pairings time to get shut , one fancier told me you need to breed 3 rounds off a pair to see if any good as a pair , but simply small lofts cant do that and need to select very carefuly but have noticed within the 3 rounds off a pair one pair of the ybs will be much better than the other two
  24. lovely looking birds love the top two
  25. again ????? he was told off last year and then put show racer on them will certainly deter people buying his birds just shooting oneself in the foot might of been a Delbar show racer
