    I've currently got 4 goldie chicks under a yellow mosaic hen about to fledge. Two bullfinch chicks under a mongrel bred canary and a goldfinch chick being reared by a redpoll. All doing fine so far. Sam

    Got a pair of sibs and a pair of natives. Put pans in today and coconut fiber and within a minute they all picked up nesting material and the cocks trod the hens

    I've got a pair of sibs that are ready to go down. Did you remove eggs and put em all back at once or just leave em to it? Cheers

    Has she started building yet then mate

    They'll catch em but more flushers and finders. Good ones will face any cover and have good voices. I don't like spaniels as they're mute and too giddy. They smash through cover with pace when there's fu*k all there. Not for me

    I'd steer clear of beagle crosses for beating and retrieving birds mate.

    Dog on the left is bred that way. He's the best I've got he will smash through anything and screams his head off. Sam

    Nip in to change seeds, veg water then back out again. Leave em to it. Insulation needs covering but i'll get to it in the future it's only cosmetic. Saw a pair of bullies and goldies feedin each other already so fingers crossed. Would have had two pair native bullies and a pair sib bullies but lost a bully hen to going light a few week ago, was gutted. Got some baycox in the pantry now and theyre on it first two days of every month to keep it bay so hopefully no more issues. Chance in hell in findin another bully hen to pair cock with at this time of year but if by some miracle anyone hears a

    Think they're just in a show cage to view them mate...
  18. sambo123
    Do me proud bless em.
  19. sambo123
    Are your goldies still squabling with each other. I've got two pair in decent size cages and i've put a divider in to let them together few hour a day but still squabling when I let them in to each other.

    Great bit of advice there mate. Thanks

    Saw my bully cock feeding his hen today. Not gunna jump the gun though. Cold spell is on its way. Sam
  22. sambo123
    Because the temperature is already picking up even though it's only feb I'm toyin with the idea of increasing the light in the shed early to see if they go down earlier than they naturally would. In my insulated shed the temp is around 15 degrees. Only thing that could knacker it up is if we have a freak cold spell. Never know what the weather is gunna do in the UK do ya. Sam
  23. sambo123
    Haven't seen it yet mate but got a feeling they're gunna start early this year. End of feb and my two Goldie cocks are singing their heads off

    I have a spare bully cock 23 bird if someone wants him for a hen for the up coming season. Had two pair but lost a hen so he's on his todd. He had his ring on but developed a large cyst on his leg so i had to chop his ring off with nail clippers to avoid irritation which maybe caused it and theres still a bit on his leg but he's healthy as anything other than that piping away for a hen. He's bright and sharp. I'd swap him for any other britsh finch cock. Cheers Sam

    I'll give the thing that I originally posted a go as it seems to be a medication specifically for finches with respiratory problems. The bird is eating and drinking fine but seems a bit puffed up and not as sharp as the other bullies. I thought it might have been coccidiosis (going light) or Trichomoniasis (fat finch disease) but the bird has been treated for both and has kind of perked up but still isn't as it should be as when it is perched it seems to be breathing heavy so maybe it's the 'gapes' as this seems to be common in Bullfinches. Cheers Sam
