devon flighter replied to ROB.BOB's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

YES ANYTIME ! -

devon flighter replied to 2.8 guy's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
how about a labxgwp x lurcher of some description ? recon that would work ! ive got a labxgwp thats not quick but works anything ,soft or hard mouthed as and when required ! used for deer stalking ! , -
what sort of sized pens / runs do you keep them in ? ,they are always something that interested me , a guy i used to know 20 od years back had a pair of goldens but never managed to hatch any

Lurcher Found Dead In Field
devon flighter replied to forest of dean redneck's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
we must have the same mates ! all my mates find it funny when i hurt myself as well "small world eh!!!!!!! " -
6 hatched,1 dead chick, 4 duff eggs and 2 ready to hatch ! i suppose given the total unexpectedness on my part its not bad a result !

they were CM thats the concern , im going to have a look at them later on today "she is tight on them this morning ,my thoughts are that given the first hatched friday on day 22, anything now probably wont be much use ,i will candle them later on . better a bird in the hand and all that , if she has 3 or 4 to rear given how it happend its all a bonus .ill let you know later

cheers stevo

quick question to the knowledgeable "again" ! had a bird go broody a while back unexpectedly ,the eggs were of unknown age when we moved the hen to a broody coup ,anyway they have started hatching yesterday afternoon ( day 22) one chick was dead outside the nest just now and there are 3 hatched under her and one chipping, non of the eggs were candled so ive no idea on fertility as some of the eggs could have been laid a while before they were started to be brooded, how long should i leave her brooding the remaining eggs before removing them ? is she likely to neglect the chicks over the unhatc

its what he needs i used to be like that and still am to an extent ,my word is always my bond "no matter what it ends up costing me "and always repay a favor one way or another,i thought the people around me were the same but last year been royally screwed over by someone i went back with for years ! cost me thousands,used to do his vermin for him and keep poachers away from his ground, guess he thought he could take the p**s because he gave me a bit of sport ! i think of things different now !!!!! "rant over"Sad do that. Let someone on his ground :-) Atb its what he needs !!!
