Hi all, My mate has been raided by mink, and killed a few chooks. I would think it will come back. I have used mink rafts to catch before, you dont need bait, curiosity lures them in, but you do need calm water for good results, there is none there. What is the best bait to use in traps on land ? If any. Thanks

Maybe its the time of yr mate, its gettin close to spring, and he may be looking out for his girls, some cocks can get aggresive spring time. Got to be carefull if you handle the females too. See what the others say

Thanks a lot folks, its pearls of wisdom like this, which makes it a bit easier for me and others to get on better and increase our knowledge. I shall continue to ask questions when they arise, and hope for responses like this. Many thanks

Thanks mate , ive done lots of reading , looked at lots of pics . I intend to show my birds , but they are more like the original type Oxford ie heavier , thicker legs , will just have to see how the judges look at that . The Oxford seems to be getting smaller . Got OEG bantys too . Never kept hold of any young cocks till now , space etc . Thanks for replying

Hello, Dubbing . Whats your thoughts on that ? Is it legal ? Anyone ever not done it ? What would Judges at shows think ? Would they not favour un-dubbed birds ? Just chucking something into the pot to think about . Let me know your thoughts . Ta

Hello, They hatched I'm chuffed

Unfortunately i was not informed about the power going off . I may well invest in a generator for the future , would come in handy anyway . Incubator was not opened , so ill wait and see . No pipping yet , will give it a couple of days . Thanks Folks

Will do mate

Question ! Had a power cut on Fri for 7hrs and again yesterday for about the same . I was not notified about it , to say the least a little fed up . My eggs in the incubator are about 4 days away from hatching , what are their chances ?
-
Hi , I don't hatch any way near the amount you boys do , but I do want to get the best results . Im learning all the time and next year ill probably wnt something with better humidity control . I have a couple of small incs , a brinsea and a still air . The still air seems to do best . Still learning , and its good to get all sorts of different peoples experiences . Cheers
