  1. So you can't really trust them then just the hens on their own?
  2. What nest pans are you using for the mexicans? Mine dived off every time I went in the shed but my mates were ok in an external pan.
  3. My first goldies and mules of the season have hatched and I've got a few more mules due monday. 3 other nests I can't candle yet but I'm hoping will be full.
  4. I bet she bangs like a shithouse door too
  5. I'm waiting on a clutch off his parents hatching at the moment, hopefully get a few more like him.
  6. I've found they go red enough when given dark greens like dandelion leaves and broccoli etc.
  7. The pea throat has filled a few eggs before he went outside with the goldie hen ?
  8. Easy enough to selectively breed in captivity but out in the wild is different, it must be prey dependent where the bigger cats can take the bigger prey like the wallabies or something making them more successful.
  9. Would them aussie ferals stay big if they were in captivity or would they revert to normal domestic size when bred from? Its mad how they are getting bigger through evolution so quickly.
  10. The puma you saw that approached you cooking food would you say it was a tame/captive released one?
  11. I've taken my young canaries away from their hens today as they are wanting to have round 2. The little buggers are sulking but I know they are eating.
  12. I've chucked the pea in with her. I was going to get some mules off him first but might as well try and get some straights off him.
  13. I don't think I'll have as many as last year but some is better than none. I've switched the cock bird in my goldie pair so hopefully they click.
  14. We do ours the same here as the peat rots the wire in no time. I ain't digging a trench to bury it when it will need replacing in a year or two.
  15. Candled my first full mule eggs tonight ?
  16. You old buggers need someone to carry for you?
  17. Are these all for self defence next time you complain about the peas?
  18. I've only got 7 canaries hatched so far and my muling cocks so far aren't filling eggs. My goldies have laid 5 and they were treading constantly so I'm hoping they'll be full when I candle them.
  19. So why breed them then if you have no market for them?
  20. The only problem I can see for anyone who wants to go over shifting a few bunnies is you wouldn't be able to take your dogs or ferrets over there so you would be starting from scratch?
  21. Bales of minimal dust shavings are fine for ferrets. As for food just watch it isn't getting stashed and going off in the warmer weather, only feed enough for the day and perhaps chuck it in at night. A lot of owners (myself included) feed mainly dry this time of year.
