    it's not the breed as such pal I think any pig over 60 or 80kg it's classed as bacon because the bigger the pig the fatter they get and then you get the really large pigs that are for sausages a friend of mine has two up his place and they are gigantic the ones got to be 400kg + he's Guna have to kill them on site though I think, well I wouldn't fancy trying to get them in a stock box anyway lol a live weight of around 110-115kg is what we send our pigs for bacon try to get porkers around -90 and hog roast around 70-75 but that's a commercial unit and they say gos make the best bacon but I'd a

    You could have a static caravan or build a log cabin as long as it's a certain size can't remember off top of my head but if you search caravan act there should be plenty of info and I'm sure its not classed at a separate residence so no council tax

    If you have electric fence you still need something solid behind it to train them or they will go straight through the fence when it shocks them

    Thanks for the offer I'll have to ask the boss because it's rented land so not 100% if we would need to get permission off of the estate or not but I've considered having a go at them with air rifle myself so would be nice to have someone else to get a few more so I'll ask and see what's what with it

    It's just outside Yorkshire near Worksop and the boss not keen on letting dogs on because of bio security and all that nonsense

    Our ducks just bury them wear ever they feel like but they are a laying breed hope that helps Ben

    That's what I would expect mine where the same but now the chickens peck at the dogs if they get to close Thanks ben

    Its not like there next to each other it would just be the solid wall of the court would be part of the fence at the bottom of the chicken run the coops a good 60 ft up the garden and that's only reason I asked didn't know if it would spook them Thanks for the replies ben
  20. ben_70
    Thanks pal wasn't sure if it would put them off laying or anything
  21. ben_70
    This might sound like a stupid question but will keeping my ferrets next to the chicken run bother the chickens? Thanks ben
  22. ben_70
    Where are you based pal
  23. ben_70
    Ive been planning on getting some chickens for a while now and after recently moving house thought now would be perfect as i have plenty of spare time so was just wondering would I be better off doing? buying/building a purpose built coop or converting a spare shed that was here when I moved in thanks in advance ben
  24. ben_70
    Could you pm me the dimensions please
  25. ben_70
    I'm probably wrong because only just starting out but I think it's because the heavier bands need an heavier ammo to get the momentum needed so you need to match the ammo to the band lighter ammo lighter band but like I said I'm probably wrong lol Ben
