Hi My syndicate looking for some pigeon roost shooting in Devon.

Hi all, yes good stuff. My lot have been on it for nearly 2 yrs And very good. I give it to them dry or damp depends on my mood. I was on chudleys then skinners and both didn't not Give them the boost that this does, plus they look good on it. Before they all looked liked I was feeding them weetabix and could not build them up Or gain muscle, dull coat ect. And on cf they are looking good and perform good too

SGC is essential.. Also 20% of the fee will go to our local dartmoor rescue team.

Hi, My syndicate are selling a day probably in January. It's in South Devon. It will be mainly walking but with some opportunities for a couple Standing guns. You can bring your own dogs, or I can arrange some of our Members to beat with our own dogs. We do put down pheasants but still very much a wild bird shoot, Seeing pheasants, woodcock, snipe. As well as Pigeon pest birds. Just to give you an idea last Saturday Woodcock numbers SEEN was in the high 20s. And hopefully will get better as the weather gets cooler. We are looking at a number of upto 5 guns At £100 a gun. The only stipulation is that you will Need to show proof of insurance on the day. If any one is interested please do pm me

hybrids meat birds. if not fussed on taste. but get ready quicker. somthing like light sussex i use as they are dual purpose, and get huge

i only get problems if i dont clean to well after hatching. i also use egg disenfectant in the water. and if the kids have been opening and closeing the thing to candle daily.lol i also use massive humidity from stop turning. 70-80% stops them getting to dry while hatching and dieing in shell..works well for me.

hi, may be a bit late but this is what i do for pheasants.. :- temp 37.5 humidity 45 and turn 3 times aday or more if using a auto incubator candle eggs on day 7. discard any not developed. day 19 stop turning, put temp down to 37- 36.5 and rasie humidty as much as you can.. 70-80 works for me every time 90%+ hatch rate. just dont keep opening and closeing incubator. need to forget about them til day 19

i get what people say that crossing to make a mongrol is irrisponcible. but i think it is personel prefrance.. i my self like a pure breed cocker or springer. only because i like to compete (or try) a few breeders here in devon have had prebooked sprocker pup all this year.and was told by a scottish gamekeeper freind that they make a great grouse dog. on my rough shoot some one has a sprocker and it seems fine does the same as mine. just does not have the paper work with it. which is fine if your not interested in breeding or competeing. still each to there own i supose.

.

hi do you still have this?

only add a whistle to commands which the dog is 100% on. ie recall only add whistle when dog is recalling every time to voice. and add directions to whistle once recall and maybe stop whistle has been delt with. other wise you are training the dog to ignore you whistling at him /her good luck. get the dog staedy to commands by voice first.do a bit of stop whistle while walking abround at heel, and every so often tell the dog to sit voice hand and add the whistle. keep doing this over weeks it will not happen in a week. and it will soon sink in what your asking. slowly over weeks take out the voice command for sit or stop (still while at heel) and just use whistle and hands to tell the dog to sit and correct the dog as you need to..

i thought as much.. i have got a few cockers and springers all working. and all hole.i have never had the need to do so i dont think i will. and i feel i would reget it any way.. i does get a bit randy but nothing that makes me chase him round the feild. he is out training all the time and do agree the more i do with him the better he is.. tahnks for your replys you have helped me make my mind up. all the best

hi all. was wondering if any one had any thorughts on if having your dog neutered could carlm him down a bit. i do hear it makes them a bit more focused. but then others say not diffrenence.. i do not intend to breed but others think he would be good to breed from. dont know what to do. dont want to do it and it change him for the worse or somthing.. oh and he is 19months,

i think will get back on to the vet.. in the mean time i will just keep switching i think. mainly sticking to frontline, his mange cleaered up a few months ago i just carried on using it as it put me on edge. but think as you said switching around may be the way forward as you can not used two things together.. one will stop the other working. its a hard one..

hi all. just a question for you. i have been traeting my gun dog every 4 weeks with front line... great not found a flea or tick on him and then treat worms with drogel? again fine. he picked up suspected fox mange a couple of months ago and was treated with advocate, dose fleas worms and mange great.. dose not do ticks tho. grrrr. what is the answer? change the treatment every 4 weeks? after using advocate i have found 3 ticks on him. and gets the nice lumps once removed. shame there isnt a treatment that would do all ( flea, tick, mange) there is a tick treatment out on the market but would stop the advocate or front line working what is the answer??

see attached a video of my cocker after his first season (15 months) doing a bit of stop whistle while out for a plod

hi all just to put you all in the loop, this link has been emailed round my shoot to make us all aware of animal aid tactics and what could happen to make our lifes/shoots difficult. dont know were they get there facts from but?? well bonkers see link http://www.animalaid.org.uk/images/pdf/booklets/opposeshooting.pdf all the best

hi i give mine this http://www.chudleys....g/big-bite.html chudleys big bite. give it to them at lunch and within 30mins they are back to full throttle again. they are very fit as they have worked evey sat, wednesday, and some fridays.. i will countine to use... i wouldnt use sasuages or buts of buttys as it dose not meet the dogs needs. i did see a dog last season collapse last year and fit was not nice so since then i use this bar and so dose the dog that fitted last year and has never looked back.. BUT OF COURSE WE ALL DO THINGS DIFFRENTLY AND EACH TO THERE OWN..

so even tho we will pen them for a couple weeks (ex layers) then realse/let them make there own way out we would still have to register? and just amend our numbers to zero whenthey are released?

do you register with defra? not sure what to do

hi all had a google and it seems so http://www.basc.org.uk/en/departments/game-and-gamekeeping/gamekeeping/basc-guidance-for-completing-the-poultry-registration-form.cfm dose every one else do this? or ?

hi all, my shoot in devon is putting down ex layers this year, was wondering if we would have to register with defra? we are looking to put down 50 -60 ex layers if numbers matter. penning for a few weeks and release/ let them fly out when they are ready but still have the holes with fox guards on so they can get back in but will encourage on them out to the main estate with our many feeders..aniseed etc any advice would be a good help as its a test really to see if we can hold them..as well as to put back what we take..

hi all, lol, agree with your points, this was a discushion i was having with some one and i was concerned about overheating and getting hug up too. was just making sure i had my facts right.. thanks for the replys i will continue as i am.. thanks all
