  1. When I'm walling everybody who walks past gives me that advice....they never accept my offer to try picking a few stones up though the clever cnuts! dont knock them !"they are probably wiser than you think!" i recon their back will last longer than yours
  2. Aye my 8 year old son showed me how to do it lol....its Kinnaber beat on the North Esk ...the first beat on the river and arguably the best fly water on the whole river ...i can fish the house rod anytime and do a bit of ghillieing on itHad some real crackin days fishing over the years ...it can be yours if you have a spare £2.65 million http://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbbrrsbhs130093#/r/detail/GBBRRSBHS130093 i know exactly what you mean lol im a technophobe as well ! lovely stretch of water ,oh for a lottery win ,thank you for posting
  3. nice looking fish there, thats what spring fishing is all about , got the hang of the vids now as well ,what river is that? looks nice water
  4. ours are just starting to pick up i think ! the young pullets started early but one of them went broody ,some of them are starting to get on a bit now ,wer are hoping to rear some replacements for the egg birds this year so hopefully get a few more early on next year ,just manged with eggs only bought 1/2 a dozen this winter but what a difference in taste
  5. so why doesn't everyone just use hobs for working ? it would save the hassle of jills and their seasons ! do they scrap more in the housing ? dont forget your talking to a ferret noob here i only do simple
  6. can they get about the burries ok at that size? just thinking out loud here ,if they can wouldnt it save hassle just keeping hobs?
  7. great watch mik ,well the ground bait worked and so did the hooking and playing well don that dog,good distance especially given the size difference and the fact its a terrier
  8. being honest jd this vet and the practice holder we used to use way back when i had the terriers was always spot on with anything ! then we moved down south and the vets there were appalling (we used to live in an area that attracted a lot of wealthy retired folk and every vet was geard up for dealing with them ) then we moved back and i went with the same practice we used way back, the trainee is now the owner so thought it would be ok ,though it does seem to be geared up for training trainees now ! but any way thanks ill let you all know the outcome in a few weeks time got the other tr
  9. dont think mine will be QUITE as plush when i get round to building it ,but fair play its a cracker
  10. hind sight and all that ! first out of the shell "dead and out of nest next morning ???" just need to knock up a few bits and pieces in morning and im sorted ,survivors are seemingly settled so fingers crossed ive got a couple of pullets left !
  11. cheers rabid ,thats reassuring the 3 remaining are fine now, they have a heat lamp and eating ok so no dramas ,they were early and it was a bit of a risk i suppose ,nothing else to foster at the moment (tried that last year and it failed lol),got a proven broody from last year sitting some other eggs but thats another batch of something else
  12. looks that way fdr ! still early enough for this season
  13. spot on then hedge crawler LESSON LEARNT ! she could well of been pushing them to the back of the coup yesterday in hind sight ! and an egg in the box that i put her in to move this morning just about confirms what your saying !
  14. bloody fisherman chucking ground bait out without care drawn me to the hook ok but thats it
  15. my thoughts as well at the moment fdr ! problem/delema at the moment im trying to get some greys sort of stabalised and she is the only grey female ! the chicks were 5 greys and 1 partridge x grey and as per the 3 that got killed were all greys! im leaning towards keeping her as a breeder for eggs (but then do the offspring females end up the same as poor broodies)
  16. hes on it chook and a lower protein diet "especially now hes not quite as active " jd just had a delivery from bulk powders and thats next ! fingers crossed but got to say im more confident with the advice on here over the vets THANKS LADS (you are a lad aint you bitch )
  17. a while back i had a pullet catch us unawares and go broody early ,anyway i let her incubate 13 eggs that were under her,1 hatched and was kicked out of the nest box the following morning dead ! she sat the rest of the eggs ok and hatched 6 health chicks and 2 died trying to chip out ,they are just under 6 weeks old now and yesterday i though i saw the broody have a bit of a go at one of the chicks but thought nothing of it! this morning 3 of the 6 were dead in the coop i took them out and stood back a while and i thought i saw her have a go at one of the 3 remaining so i took HER off them ,
  18. class why dont we get good old fashion comedy like that now ? fekc i sound like my parents
