    I use both... Part of the Estate is open to the public, and when I used springs, I saw Joe Public walk up to a feeder, say "How does this work?" and wrench the spring to the point that the barrel emptied! So for the 'Public' areas, I use pans now. (We have Peafowl & Guinea Fowl in the public areas). Those areas where the Fee-Paying-Public aren't allowed, where I rear pheasants,I use springs.

    Get them turning up now and then down here....I think a flock of 14 or so hung around for a month or two last year. Never got that close to them, though. Cracking image, Romany. All The Best.

    Sussex, Plymouth Rock or Buff Orpington are often considered as good dual purpose birds. Rhode Island Reds are supposed to be one of the better 'layers' of dual purpose, though my Great Aunt Mary (God rest her soul) always swore by Marans. I'm sure there are more informed people on here who can help you more, though ATB

    Hello all... I have been seriously considering getting a couple of ferrets (to work), and wondered BEFORE I get any which would be the best steps to take... i) trawl through as many posts on here as I can before my eyes fall out? ii) find someone locally who can show me the 'Whys & Wherefores', iii) read as many 'good books' as recommended by those in the know, or iv) All Of The Above? Really don't want to go into keeping/working ferrets 'blind' so to speak, so any/all advice given will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance... J

    You could try to get a copy of "Making Mobile Hen Houses" by Michael Roberts in the 'Gold Cockerel Series'. Might give you a few pointers. Try Ebay or I find Amazon cheaper more often than not. Hope that helps J

    Been seeing a few of these about..... anyone tell me what it is, please? (lent my fungi book out and ain't seen it since) Thanks all.

    Could still be Buzzard......males and females differ in size, plus the colours are variable. From creamy/white to very dark brown. Juvenille Buzzard possibly?
  23. Capt Boo
    Sounds daft, but..... wash your feet in cold water, thoroughly dry them, then on with socks, etc.... hey presto....warm feet!
