my allotment/smallholding, rare breed chickens my 2 collies and im just getting into shooting with my .22
-
Great views mate, and a good day
-
a couple of warrens would probably be best, they pretty much lay an egg each every day and are easy to look after. I find other breeds are more interesting but if its just eggs you need then warrens are the way to go. good luck with them

Hi all, im after a couple of ferrets to work, just got a permission and they would be greatly appreciated and looked after. Cheers Fergy - im in the greater Manchester area.
-
some nice scenery as well there mate. looks like you had a top day
-
ive not had ferrets for very long but going off the amount of rats and mice the 2 cats keep catching and eating can it do that much harm? ive seen mink taking rats as well.
-
nice birds
-
the chickens will kill them, I made that mistake once.
-
top notch that buddy
-
yes id go with the sussex a good way to get rid of the toughness though is to leave the bird in water over night i generally put a few chopped carrots, onions and sliced cabbage in with it, a pinch of salt and then cook it however you like, if you find that turkey is dry do the same with turkey it works a treat.
-
sounds like too much humidity to me just by the fact that they were fully formed, ive had bad hatches in the past but the only time the chicks were fully formed was when the humidity was too high. hope this helps.
-
just the pekins and silkies, they are great to keep, nice and friendly and decent layers, about 5 per week each at the moment.
-
the beer trap works better if you can cover it with something as well, dunno why, i saw it on river cottage and tried it works a treat

Ha i wont make that mistake so. I have this thing in my head they solve my slug problem. If i left them in the plot in the spring of the year before planting would they clean out all slugs do ya think. problem is slugs literally lay thousands of eggs each year so no matter how many you get rid of theres always plenty more to replace them - get out at night with some scissors and a torch, you can clear hundreds - other than that keep trying to attract hedgehogs as they eat loads of them.
