    Anyone going to the Country Fair at Kimblewick on Sunday? (Oxon)?

    TBH there was no point in jabbing there if we weren't going anywhere. Seem to have had a breakthrough last night in garden, she suddenly went 'oh I see you want me to go where you're going eh?'..not 100% obviously but I think she's getting the idea, seems like it was a 'time' job. Thanks all of you for the input.

    Hi Holly, We have done a bit of that, it is difficult as we are not totally enclosed and are on a busy road, then if someone leaves the door open.....that's why I keep them inkennels in the first place. Obviously, she was born/kept indoors when she was young but again, we can put her in the kitchen whilst say cooking or something and she's not even interested in the scraps (whereas any of the others would be on their back legs trying to get the chicken skin or whatever). I think it might be a long job. Shame, we wanted to show her in puppy classes this year. I wonder if it it was because

    Hi Hannah, We don't 'walk' them as such as they've had no jabs but we take 2 or 3 at a time in our own fields when the horses are in (so as not to have any accidents). She doesn't scream, just won't go or keep up. If you take the lead + collar off she then runs about stupidly like a pup but is not over keen on coming back! Nightmare. Like all things animal wise it's difficult to know if she's being stubborn or if there is a genuine problem.

    Hi Hannah, We have tried that! Maybe we're not giving it enough time. If you leve her in the garden with/without the lead she just freezes to the spot, however, I have had her running around while I've been gardening on my own, the worry there is that she might possibly escape if left too much to her own devices (she is working stock after all), but then if you let her have a run about when she's in the mood, then put the lead on after, she freezes again. Thanks for your reply.

    She's 6 months old and they all used to come in the garden as a litter, she also was coming in the garden with us off the lead + going in our field off the lead - it seems to be since we've tried her on a lead we've got a problem, however, we keep trying every day for a few minutes with/without other dogs. Also, the pups stayed in the house until they were about 7 weeks old and had the run of the kitchen, corridoor etc. + she was no different to any of the others.

    In the run she's fine, walks/runs up and down/comes to the door, whatever. Put her in the garden and she freezes! (Don't think she's ill + vets round here cost an arm and a leg). Wondered if anyone else had ever had anything like this.

    Google it?

    Hi all, This sounds really daft, but my young Jack won't walk! She was hand-reared and born by Caesarean, been in a kennel next to the other dogs all her life since she's been outside, take her in the garden loose or on a lead and she just stands there, won't walk on or off the lead, it's as is she is totally panic stricken. Tried coupling her to another older bitch, she just dragged her along. Took her off the lead and she just won't move. Been breeding Jacks over 20 years, never had anything like this before, wanted to show her in puppy classes this summer. We are trying to do somethin

    I am so impressed! Like the terracing. Anyone want any manure in the South?

    Wow! Fantastic photos and a very interesting subject, a far cry from some of the other rubbish that is written on this forum! We had a swarm of bees/wasps in a chimney last week, not sure which, they caused a chimney fire, if I'd known a) They were there and what to do with them and c) whether they were wasps or bees maybe I could have done something with them. I'll know next time. Great topic.

    Yesterday a friend asked me if there was a season for ferreting as she has rabbits eating her veg garden. Am posting this on here for her (although told her to come and have look at the site)...anyone want to take ferrets to the (to keep the anonymity at the moment let's say somewhere near Henley) area? pm me for more details

    Hi, You don't say what type of Wyandottes you have, mine are silver laced bantams and have b een laying about a month - are they in daylight or a dark shed?
  22. outsider
    They'd been in a week.

    all depends on how long your eggs were in for the less time they had to hatch the better chicks can live 24 hours or more if they only have 3 or 4 days left to go

    Hi Burnie, His percentage is much higher than yours! eg 100% I think I'd have to see if it happened again.

    How long can an incubator be off without affecting the eggs? We went away for the night and when we came back had 3 dead chicks under a lamp and the eggs in the incubator were cold. If I candle them can I tell if the chicks are alive or not? It could possibly have been off for say maximum 24 hrs eg lunchtime - lunchtime. I have no idea how long it was off. Has anyone else had a problem like this or knows how long the eggs are ok for? Thanks Outsider I saved all those eggs up for this hatch
