  1. He looks starved, what ever your giving him treble it.
  2. I would definitely incuradge it, it will NOT do her any harm. Far to many Lurchers these days have only ONE string to there bow.
  3. Too much Pork or Turkey seem to go straight through my lot.
  4. Went out to the flight yesterday, and found 6, day old Siskins, all scattered around the place dead.
  5. Get yourself a good whistle, and blow there ear drums out, soon stop phoning ya then.
  6. The most important thing is, will the pup bring the best out of you, and has it got the physic and mind set, for the game you intend to throw at it, that's what's important never the distance..
  7. The easiest way to do a soakaway, get a plastic 45 gallon drum, drill as many holes as you can be bothered, then dig a hole about 6" deeper drop in the drum then fill with pea shingle, jobs a gooden
  8. For the best results, single flights will produce more chicks, but not everyone has the space. But some people, are changing the double edge on the roofs of there flights, because they say it's starting there birds of to early. ??????
  9. Be careful when you have a mixed flight some cock birds (natives) if not 100% shore that he has fertalised all the eggs, he will smash eggs or kill chicks..
  10. I've got a pair nesting in a tree at the back of my house, singing his head of all day. I see more goldfinches than any other birds around my area and very rairly see or hear a greenfinch the complete opposite to when I was a kid
  11. The odd chick might be a mule as sometimes the goldfinch will get to the hen before the cock canary. Keep your eyes on whos feeding chicks especially when they have left the nest, its very rare to get a cock bird feeding someone else's chicks
  12. Best I see was a 3/4grey- 1/4 alsation.
  13. Prevention better than cure... Quite a lot of Canary breeders, treat there birds with antibiotics every Jan/Feb, so no nasties are past on to youngsters. Sick birds can recover from illness after treatment, but it always seems to come back and get them in the end.
  14. You can get a sealer for block paving paint or spray it on and it will stop any penertation. It's cheap and easy to apply.
  15. No not until injections, and a week after last jab.
  16. Before receivers come into play always used a small bell.still do in heavy cover or new setts..
  17. Keep your eye on the other birds for bobbing tail,coughing or constantly eating and I would disinfect cage as a precaution.
  18. The greyhound superstore on line or most equestrian/horse shops if any close to you.
  19. Blue/Green algae is no joke, kill you and ya dogs if you drank it, never never let your dog swim/ drink if it is present in any lake or river.
  20. The best waterproofer for concrete and render is sika.
  21. Wash feet with white vinegar it will help stop the irritation, as the dog gets older it will lurn to live with it.
  22. When I was a youngster the going rate was a DAYS money. Bit more pampered nowadays.
  23. Most dogs are good, UNTIL they have a bad experience with another dog, and then it can be month/years before its resoled, and with some dogs never the same again. There a knob that walks a first cross Alsation/Husky and a pit cross and it's only a matter of time before they KILL another dog. I was on the other side of a six foot fence, if it wasn't there me and me dog would of Copt it, when I shouted at there owner to get his dogs under control, the f#####g idiot said there only saying hallow
