thought some one would have a few spare in south wales area
-
had to have a second look mule,credit mate that is a real smart job,thinking of doing one myself,but might just go for easy option,8 x 4 square,not that good with a hammer/nails .
-
just had a quick count/inspection ,the first nest all 6 growing well,the second nest has 4 hatched at mo, the 3rd and last pair had 3 eggs I have removed because they would not stop building nest upon nest ,the hen has made no attempt to lay more or start to sit,for days just builds,when spare material is removed it piled on shaveings,must have a dissorder :laugh:any way new pan in today see what it thinks to that. :blink:atb.

taz its strange but who ever looks after the birds ,no two people have the same routine,the birds don't do too well when things change slightly, I don't like to leave em ,and mine are left in more capable hands than mine at times,but its still a stressfull time for me and the birds
-
bloody hell pete,put paper in bottom,and change it daily that's wrong for a bale of dust.
-
you cant have everything pete, :laugh:sure you will get sorted,
-
thought it strange both hens have laid 6 ,and all 6 hatched in the first nest this year,hope the others hatch as good, that on cage bottoms pete is dust free shaveings,not the best but used it because we have some spare at mo, theres some better stuff nr me its like horse bedding ,don't blow all over and no dust but I have forgot the name atb.

gnipper told you you don't get out that easy,i keep saying its time to pack in,then keep the odd few pair ,and breed up again ,come sept the sheds full again,might make a small outside flight ,try the british again atb.
-
one nest of 6 all hatched,the other 6 sitting tight due in 2 days,
-
nice job ,I only keep a few but still enjoy the first lots hatching,had em from been a small child and I am well past the big 50,but still cant resist a spy in the nests when I see bits of shell about,atb with them.

that's what its all about fireman,sounds ideal sit and watch with a pot ha, I went in last night 2 hatched ,still 4 eggs under the hen, don't know whats going on this year but both pairs that have laid and are sitting have got 6 eggs each ,seems a lot for first round,but they know best. good luck .

Huan72 very good reply, was thinking along them lines, don't think the pic was needed to be fair,

same as stabba, also monk Bretton/ cundy cross maggot farm , that is showing my age

I know mate, world gone mad, spent hours as a kid digging the maggot farms for rats,always placed a trap or two on holes for bolters, atb,

a man that can condition a dog ,get it fit, and get it out in the field ,
-
stabba correct ,is it ok if dog kills the said rat while its been dispatched,such as if it got out while checking the trap
-
gnipper you will be back ,they don't let you get away that easy, :laugh:are you keeping pigeions ect or as every thing gone atb.
-
irish as usual ,boring I know but just keep a few to stay in the bird game.
-
can see what your saying ,barry white, says it all calling em pocket rocket ,good sales pitch. when I got mine for the young lad it was a gift ,a lad bred his two own dogs for him self and offerd me 2 spare dog pups for free ,I declined the pair but exepted one for the lad ,his first dog they are inseparable,and like I said it is ok at most things he asks of it, not a world beater but he puts work in to the dog and its paid off,so hes happy atb.

RAW don't paint all with same brush , that's what joe public do when they see a man with a terrier,is it not.
