Some of the best animals ever bred have been inbred, Herbert Atkinson and tom garner are just a couple who have got results from it. How can you linebreed if the animals you're breeding aren't in some way related? If they aren't you're just outcrossing.

Ive seen birds survive and thrive for over a year without being fed, just left to roam wherever they want and find all there own food,,no matter how far they went theyd still come back to the barn and roost in the rafters, some of the most picturesque birds to look at as well, never seem to do as well as when left to there own devices

I dont like mine, he gets beat up off jack russells, eats any chicks that get out, robs my shoes all the effin time and has now realised that when my hens start clucking theyve made a tasty little snack and he always seems to take a shit where i walk. But bar that hes grand, different to what im used to but variety is the spice of life so they say, already putting a lot of older dogs to shame with his scenting ability, no speed machine but i knew he wouldnt be. Bit sensitive as well but living with me isnt easy so i forgive him for that

Free range eggs, 30 odd hens?
gamerooster replied to Tyla's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Coloured egg layers dont lay as well as white egg layers,,its to do with how long the egg is kept inside the hens system, all eggs begin white but then the hen adds the colour, the best egg layers are white stars or generic white leghorn hybrids and bovan neras,,isa browns, warrens,;all pretty much the same thing from different breeders, the bovan also do a bovan black which is the equivalent of your black rock, dont lay as well and eat slightly more but developed for a free range type system -
Free range eggs, 30 odd hens?
gamerooster replied to Tyla's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Always found it easy to sell surplus eggs,,so get about 40 id say, plus artificial light in the coop will keep the numbers up when the days begin to shorten, then get the majority put into a poultry sale when the camp site shuts and keep a few back for your own eggs and to breed replacements, hybrids lay the best but dont breed true so you need to buy in fresh pullets every time you need replacements -
Mine barks at people if they get to close to where my birds are, only started doing it this week, no doubt he will be a useful dog to have about..... if he doesnt stop ragging my pants or torturing my rabbits and quail

Bored hens are noisy hens, i lived in a downstairs council flat for 3 years and had 20 plus quail for eggs under a 18/6 light scheduele,, kept most of the block going on quail eggs, no one knew i had them till i offered them eggs

Why is it so hard to find meat rabbits
gamerooster replied to unicornleather's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
I have 2 new zealand does, a cali x nwz buck and in the next 2 weeks will have another 2 proven nzw x cali does, can put you intouch with breeders closer to you if youre still after some? -
Big lump of a dog, does he attack you like this creature of a thing i have?

Hmmmm ?

Built mine a nice kennel and he sleeps under the caravan wheel on the floor, bought it nice dog food and it'll only eat wild game, won't even eat human mince, stock broke to chickens after taking a whooping from my shamo cock, got hissed at by ferrets and decided they weren't worth bothering, what I will say is this is the smartest pup I've seen in a long time, takes everything in his stride, even got him venturing into water which will be handy for retrieving ducks, really looking forward to what the future has in store for the my mouching partner in crime.

the ability of the bull x as a alrounder
gamerooster replied to milliken's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
As a alrounder I think saluki bull greys take some beating, all breeds compliment each other well -
food inventory and others on rearing pups

682÷9= you robbed me, how could you do me like that, I thought we where going to be kelpie friends for life -
I imagine the closest style I've seen is what the aussie lads do and they swear by deerhound greyhounds, I'm sure some lads run them on coyotes in the states to

Bar the near death incident on the way back, it was a good weekend away, katchum did all the talking I was just happy eating, thanks to katchum for the lift, jigsaw for the breakfast, cups of tea and snacks, and tomo and neal for the countless pm's answered over the years about kelpies

the ability of the bull x as a alrounder
gamerooster replied to milliken's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Both of the bulls I had where tapped in the head, just wanted to kill every thing, one was good with people one hated everyone bar me, put me off having a pure bull or bull cross again for life, never liked the taste of fox anyway -
I reckon deep down he wanted to keep the whole litter..... mine had its first kill today...... one of my courtnix quail hens!! Not to worry though, he has now ate it all and is sleeping it off, it's a hard life eh
-
Be glad to see the back of the place, didn't like the look of jigsaw either, something about him made me nervous, I just hope katchum doesn't remember what I did to him last night when he was sleeping

Don't like the look of them, look to heavy to make decent running dogs

Any pics of the spare dog pup?

Why does no one use the 24 guage steel wire over in the UK that they seem to love so much in the states? Seen a few folk take decent bags of squirrels, grouse and snowshoe hares with it

I'll take the biggest dog, don't care what colour it is
