  2. looks promising larry,put up a pic when its done ,are you putting in some spacers ?
  3. any ideas who hedge crawler ?f *****g lowlifes ,its only now after a couple of years in that i fully realize just how much effort goes into getting decent stock together ,good luck with getting replacements
  4. after the success of last years thread by belucky i thought id start one this year to save trawling through old threads ! what you up to this year ? whats your plans ? ive just had a hatch of some oxford types under a young broody , hopefully be some greys among them ! not a brilliant result %age wise but thats down to me ,6 good chicks from 13 set ( 7 hatched ,1 died , and 2 just not quite made it out ) from young birds "last years" i will put up some pics in a few days
  5. had a camo one for about 7+ years now i think ,got to admit im not much of a gun cleaner never had any issues at all with mine with any load from 1oz to 3.5" magnums ,dont get me wrong its not a rust bucket but nowhere cleaned as much as it could be ,fits me like a glove ,would i buy another ? YES ANYTIME !
  6. Here we go :-) Be pens all over your spot now :-) any way want that arc?you could rear some pheasant chicks in it
  7. 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 ! ,
  8. 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
  9. scobies for me as well ! mister gain is spot on its all an experiment keep records, so once you have it right you can repeat it ,it can take a while until you get the feel of things but once you've done it its worth the effort
  10. kelsae onion seeds just popped their heads through "hope im not to late sowing them " and sweet peas just poked their heads through as well ,still a bit of time for the rest for me, need to give the GH a good clean but weather is still putting me off
  11. we must have the same mates ! all my mates find it funny when i hurt myself as well "small world eh!!!!!!! "
  12. 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 !
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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 !!!
