What makes you say that ? Have you had issues ?

👍

Either way - i really really really would not be worried about 1 cock pheasant "attacking" my poults I have hundreds of them and have no issues

👍

How many would perish without these ponds i wonder ? I have built over 30 ponds and certainly dont take more than i "put back" - by providing feed, shelter and predator control. I am not alone in my actions either Irresponsible - un-sportsmanlike people are just that - Think of the wildfowler shooting when it turns very cold - or shooting all day or too many days and disturbing the birds

Well yes - because no-one ig growing OSR

As i say you cant - he is out of season

Very little round us Flea beetle

👍

I see You feed them out by moving the feeders towards the covers bit by bit

Looking well they are Rimfire To stop wastage and prevent disease i have put concrete slabs under each of our feeders = a pain - but well well worth it We dont have hardly a bird in any of the pens now

From the picture you put up there is no vegetation in your pen - hence why your birds get "bored" and feather peck You cant kill the pheasant in the pen - its out of season anyway Surely you want the birds out of the pens by now anyway ?

No cover in your pen Thats what you get - feather pecking Th old bird i doubt will have killed the poult

Yes - to me Collecting tomorrow

Ace !

Yes i get that - but nothing to stop you throwing 2 bags of food out and not shooting them ? Sometimes - these enterprises can be a lifeline for many of the migratory species - and indeed some of them will have duck tubes - predator control procedures in place No - one fits all really is it

Not had any issues on our with Corvids raiding them We have circa 30 / 35 and this year they have been so well used i have refurbed once or twice in the season - produced hundreds of ducklings !

I wonder if banned for life - is actually banned for life - Or is it like imprisoned for life ?

Yes this - as kids we grew up with knives - hammers - I remember my brother writing to father Christmas for an axe and he was not upset on Christmas Day - He was perhaps 8 They should ban multiple TVs and internet access points and get back to family life being family life !

Glad you are back and hope you are ok

It makes no difference - you would still be breaking the law - risking everything for couple of hours walk about and casting a shadow over our passion Im not in any way irate or wound up tbh

Surely he would not have got upset at that ? Whichever way you meant it - if about me i would laugh my head off Come on Simon - sticks and stones and tbf it sounds like a misunderstanding anyway

I must be a bit thick as i dont know why Simon 6prc would have left I cant think he was the offendable type ? I hope he comes back

Simon 6 What happened - really really enjoyed his videos tbh
