  1. Hopefully start over the next couple of weeks to scratch the itch and get stung to bits.Every year I do it to remind myself that next year I should start a little later when winter kicks in. Just havent developed the patience to wait. After a hard breeding season with the canaries and finch I do be mad to get stuck in. Get well stuck in when the weather gets cold. Good luck to everyone and have a great season
  2. Does anyone know if it makes much of a difference with rayovac 394 quartz watch batteries and rayovac 394 silver oxide watch batteries for the mk3m collar. Is one better than the other
  3. nice set up and birds.Best of luck with them
  4. Yeah Id have preferred it if she hadnt had the phantom earlier in the season and had kits earlier in the year. Just delighted I got some kits from the pair hope nothing goes wrong with them and I get a chance to work them
  5. some lovely birds you have, best of luck with them
  6. fingers crossed they get a couple of outings. The rabbits seem to be breeding earlier each season around my way
  7. bred my hob to my jill hopeing to get some kits to bring on as replacements for when my ferrets are slowing down over the next season or 2. The jill had a phantom and came back into season. She had 3 kits yesterday. Never had them this late. I be lucky to get them started by the end of the season coming.

  9. Id love to have lovely clean ground burrows. If your ever in Dublin I give you a look at what we have to do to get our rabbits. You never know you might like it or it will make you appreciate your land more. Most the digs are very shallow unfortunatelty the burrows are covered in blackthorn and brambles. Deffo need a locator with all the thick cover
  10. Had mk1 for a few years. got fed up with the wheel and bought mk3m.Took a bit of getting used to as I was so used to the mk1. Useing the mk3m a few years now and I mostly dig the burrows I ferret.Too dirty to lay nets. Always get my rabbits with mk3m.Well used to it now with all the digging I get to do.
  11. lovely, best of luck with them
  12. The small or mini mules are little crackers. I could of had a bucket load of canaries this season myself.I just bred from the canaries what I will need for next season. Thought I would of had a few more mules myself at this stages. Maybe get 1 more round of mules fingers crossed from a couple of hens I have. Something I do with canaries I want mules from is I dont pair the goldie cock with them.I breed first round of canaries from the hen.When the chicks are about a week away from jumping the nest I put the cock goldie in with the hen. I run 1 cock canary between a few hens so most the hens ar
  13. they were only born sunday raymond so a bit early yet, 2 seem to be heavily dark and 2 lighter but as you know ill have to wait and see maybe another week and should have a fair idea then, the young strangely coloured ones i asked you about before are off the same hen so hopefully something a bit different fingers x red satinette hen Be great to see the pics when they develop. I ve a few yellow sattinette chicks I bred this season. I was thinking to see what might pop out next season if I put a goldie cock over a couple of them
  14. The only thing I use is ivermectin. It does everything from internal and external parasites. It makes sense to use ivermectin as the ingredient to kill parasites. Ive met people that have only wormed there dog with what ever worm tablet they could get.The where left scratching there head to why the dog got wormy again so quick because they werent educated enough to treat the dog for fleas aswell as the wormer they used.So for me ivermectin does it all in one go. There the injectable ivomec, there animec injectable or theres pour on noromectin. They all have ivomectin in them. The only cases o
  15. That praziquantel is a good engrediant to have in a wormer.

I had them inmykitchen for months playing the CD for them.I love the goldfinch song but it got a bit much.Il be doing it all again this season.All mules will end up in the kitchen away from cock canaries. The norwich and greenie are used together to get size and that into the mule.Well thats why I do it
  19. they decided to jump out and take a look around.Its mad how much the chicks change in 4 or 5 days
