  1. Interesting Read Daz, I'm sure it will get people chattering. thanks Excuse the ignorance but what is the MAP Program he talks about in the last paragraph?? I take it MAP is an Acronym but I don't know what for... I've re read the article but can't see it anywhere... I am sleep deprived though...
  2. Do you feed this to your birds that are under 6 months of age or all ages? If thats what you feed your young ones what do you change for your adults?
  3. I wouldn't try giving raw chicken... that could be deadly I would imagine...

    I'd heard of people doing that before, but today I did the same thing... well not a whole carcass for one bird but some of it... We will see how it goes

  13. but what would the difference be between a grey and a blue bird at this age? is it possible to tell?
  14. I entered one but I can't remember which one I entered... hopefully its that one
  15. sure do... The mum The dad
  16. I have had a good time today reading up on the day to day routine of Stephen Elliott and Geoff Lowe on their websites. It was a good read and was interesting reading their different routines and tips they give to up and comers... both websites were a great help with lots of information? At the moment I have one bird to look after so I don't have much work to do but hopefully one day I will have a nice set up with more birds... So it got me thinking... What is your daily routine? How long does it take to go through the routine? And What would you you say was the best advice given to you by a more experienced breeder since coming into the 'fancy'?
  17. wow that is crazy... I'm not a fan of the cold but the snow is nice to look at from a distance
  18. I love the names too. They look great. Look forward to seeing all the pics of eggs and chicks Is it possible for a Dom Pied to be split Rec. or can only normals be split... might sound like a dumb question but I never thought about it before... I'm guessing they could be but I'm not sure...
  19. I think its an issue that always turns into an emotionally charged debate where both sides believe with all their heart that they are right... Its a hard call and up to the individuals involved...
  20. Just on that Liv, once you create your account can you change your primary email to a hotmail or yahoo email? so that your subscription emails go there instead of the others?
  21. so how can you tell if a bird will be grey? do they look any different to a blue at pin feather stage?
  22. huh?? what do you mean by 'Probiotic'?? Are you for regular use of them or against the use of them?
  23. hmm I might be able to get over to MB's some time next week... Unless MB reads this and can take some herself
