Hexamita, Primary symptoms are listlessness and foamy or watery diarrhea with rapid weight loss due to the dehydrating effect. Birds often huddle together near the heat source and cry or "chirp" constantly as though in pain. Convulsions due to lowered blood sugar levels shortly precede death. Affected birds suffer losses in weight and survivors remain stunted. Trichomoniasis, The disease course is rapid. The first lesions appear as small, yellowish areas on the oral mucosa. They grow rapidly and coalesce to form masses that frequently completely block the esophagus and may prevent the bird

I honestly don't know how much they charge as we have an account and it is sent straight to the estate office. if I ask for a pm they get you to take birds in within 2 hours of your call and they pm then as you watch they even have their microscope wired up to a telly in the viewing area so you can see what they find, it all means that within 4 hours of my call I can have the meds in the header tank. As you say I am just lucky to have that right on my doorstep.

Its completely up to you to go to the vet but it will cost you 50 pound a bird to get an autopsy and i could guess that the results would come back as inconclusive with HEX, COXI and TRIKI because they never can get it right. Sounds like they have gapes too me which is easy spotted with the birds making a "sneezing" sort of sound and some of the worst affected will be standing still looking they are gasping. Over this period of bad weather every person who has birds in there pen should have an anti-biotic like Aueromycin or Tetsol to ease the birds over the worst of the weather. Expensive st

It can be a real pain getting the birds back once they have found a source of food they like I have had them come off roost and run straight past my feed to get to stubble pretty much the only way to stop them is to get there as often as you can and push them back it may be worth asking your neighbour if he minds you dogging them back off his land if they are coming back to you to roost then they aren't lost yet once the food source is gone if you are still pushing them hard then they should come back on the feed you could also spread some straw and grain near the pen it might just slow them d

It could be one of a number I should get some to a vets for a pm as soon as possible for now isolate the ill pen visit it last and clean boots both before and after visiting any diagnosis over the internet will be a guess and you could waste both time and money by using the wrong medication

My poults have come on well I had a touch of hexamata in 1 batch of 1000 but 5 days on denagard and soludux cured them with no losses, thankfully my other 6 pens have needed no treatment the pen wire is lifted now so at least they have more room I have 5000 partridges coming on the 2nd of september then it wont be long till I start shooting. I would say up till now the only real problem I have had is with buzzards this year there seems to be more of the b*****ds than ever

I do pretty much the same but squeeze 2 sticks together behind the cut trapping the tail then pull the skin off

How to become a gamekeeper
danw replied to millytheterrier's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
go to college and get qualified if you are lucky by that time the economy may have picked up and there may be some jobs but to be honest at the moment it will be hard work getting any where and then if you do get a job you will spend half the year wishing you hadn't LOL What kind of advice is that to give? I notice that you are 21 years old, so probably past the 'volunteering for a year' scenario. I would wait untill the shooting season, and if you are doing nothing better go beating as many days as you can on as many local shoots as possible (only big shoots with the possibil -

I also feel that duplication is unneccesary......why when someone goes from holding a sgc to a fac.....dont they bin the sgc and put them all on the fac?? the law considers the sgc a lesser weapon and hence why the greater restrictions and extra hurdles to obtain a fac........but why do you need both? But people like me who struggled to get a sgc due to not having anyone to sign as a referee.....would be put out of the market altogether if 2 signatures are required...and imagine the impact on the gun dealers.......if every shotgun needed to be put on as a restriction it would seriously red

I have never really seen why I needed both certificates to be honest it would make more sense for my shotguns to be on my firearms cert with the rest of my guns,but I can see that would not be better for every cert holder

I would say as a keeper I live the hunting life as do all the people employed in the field sports sector be it hunt service or stalker etc that is not to say that people not employed in this sector don't live to hunt many people are just if not more committed to hunting in whatever form than those employed in it. So long as you get out there and hunt no mater how little then you live the hunting life

Your info is misleading if you are on open access land the rules are very different so to suggest that the countryside act always applies is incorrect http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Environmentandgreenerliving/Greenertravel/Enjoyingthecountryside/DG_187645

The lad who stopped you was neither a keeper or landowner so what makes you think that they need educating on the countryside act?

Different brands do make the difference and their are many factors as to why they differ be it different priming mixture,powder,case neck tension even different bullet lube even though they are branded as subsonic the actual muzzle velocity can vary and if I remember correctly Eley subs are considered to be on the slow side the best way to tell would be to chronograph the 2 loads.
