  1. They must be knocking shite out of each other all together like that this time of year?
  2. Are they in cages or aviary?
  3. Have you not let the natives try and rear their own?
  4. I would have thought raza and fifes would be doing the job for you anyway mate but like you say if they're from untrusted sources they could be cast offs.
  5. Some lads keep their own lines of mongrel feeders but personally I don't think you can go wrong with irish fancies. I had bad luck with dimorphics for years but the past couple of years they've not really let me down. If they're squashing chicks like they aren't getting off is there something disturbing them in the shed?
  6. If you look close at the pic it looks edited around the neck area to me and surely if you were taking a picture of something you thought was unusually large there would be something for scale in there too?
  7. Do you not have to renovate it in a traditional way like using lime plaster etc? I love looking at old building with walls all over the place etc its character but I think living in one would piss me off.
  8. Not from the jill over cleaning them? I've seen kits with legs and tails damaged by the jill at birth.

    Smoking.

    I know what you mean mate and I know a few lads who did the same as you and feel loads better without the fags but it's still got nicotine in so imo could easily fall back onto fags if no vape is available or their battery dies. I think the disposable vape are getting banned too which is a good thing as twats are chucking them everywhere.

    Smoking.

    Best thing I ever did quitting, vaping and all that is still smoking to me.
  11. They're fine. Just jumped the nest and never used their feet to perch or walk on wire floors so legs like bambi at first.
  12. First 2 chicks of the year jumped today while I was at work so got my first proper look at them when I got home.
  13. Had extra help up on the platform this morning
  14. 11 month now the crazy little bellend
  15. I dunno about burning it but I've pruned enough of them over the years its a really soft wood isn't it. A treat to prune after doing oaks and beech
  16. Just reading back through this old thread and lads saying about the old working lines that haven't been mucked about with and crossed with angora etc I wonder what the ferrets that live wild on the Scottish Islands and been over there for donkeys years are like? Could be a way of resurrecting the old lines if anyone could get hold of them?
  17. The season has started weird for me, it was looking like the goldies were more forward than the canaries but then they seemed to go quiet again. I've bred mules before I got any young canaries though and the goldfinch pairs still haven't started. Hopefully they'll get their act together by the end of the month.
  18. Will they eat broccoli or peas?
  19. There was one here yesterday and I can't remember the last time I heard one. I've seen them in the wood here years ago when I was a kid too.
  20. Boring work for some but being surrounded with birdsong and not a person in sight or sound is bliss to me. I couldn't work indoors.
  21. I don't know about special needs people but I've seen dogs act a lot differently around frail people and children like they know they should be gentle with them instinctively.

    She's got a good jacket on her, she has the look of her mum too on some pictures.

    I nearly went along the lab route too, I wish I had sometimes with this mental bugger being a pain in the arse but I think the spaniels more useful to me for bushing etc.
  24. I couldn't be arsed with the stuff , E's were good but by the time I stopped going out and had kids they had gone crap too.
