Fingers crossed the next round are all full and hatch. Well done mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She feeds out of my hand every morning. Same as one of my sibiraian goldies she's tame too. Am guna have hands on with all young that I keep back just so that none are shy when it comes to breeding season they know am not a threat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,426 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm staying clear of them mate, only takes one fright to make them jump too early and the little sods won't go back in. They should fledge any day now though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,426 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 3 nests of polls all gone, one fed for a week then stopped, one chewed the beaks and limbs off all her chicks and another ate her eggs 3 days before hatching. Bloody things. I'll be happy to get a few more mules out then I'm finished. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,046 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thats a shame Gnipper i used to sit wondering why things when wrong breeding natives thinking i must of f****d up somehow but soon realised nature can just be funny like that. Best of luck with the mules anyway. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
