Thank you so much. Just had a rare lazy day, no dog training!! just the feeding.

I know what you mean. We had 2 lovely border collies and when we lost them to old age I decided we would have a different breed. Ended up with a Leonberger who is nearly 8 months and over 40kg already and a Clumber spaniel who is 5 months. They are nothing like the collies and nothing like...

Guess what. Virus protection now thinks your site is fine, along with the others it took exception to. So my new 'browsing' computer is redundant.

My 2 border collies were very outgoing, friendly and soft mouthed. I have lost them both now to old age sadly but they were lovely dogs. They did go to obedience classes but they were used as scapegoats for more agressive dogs so I gave that up. They had some training for sheep too but our...

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone wonting their peacocks making more noise, I am trying to persuade mine to roost in their shed at night to save the sleep of my neighbours who are over half a mile away! My older 3 peacocks do occasionally scream but mostly they honk or hiss at my...

If anyone needs a wheaten maran cockerel or a welsummer cockerel I have both available and ready to work! Carmarthenshire.

We are lucky in one respect, no clan to worry about. I do have a brother but he's not bothered about what I do. We have no children and the parents are long gone. We have alpacas, shetland sheep, angora and pygmy goats, 3 rescue cats and as I recently lost my old border collie I am now...

The 2 chicks I hatched never had a heat lamp they had a brooder (no light) the 12 chicks I bought in were off heat. I'll try and get some pics soon, they are growing up fast.

Hello, been suffering with a bad cold (haven't had one for years) and this one seems really nasty anyway two things to report about the peachicks, well three I suppose. First they are all growing nicely. Second I had a chick who looked really poorly recently and I was so worried about it...

Goodness, didn't know there was anyone quite that close. In Carmarthenshire. Got here from Wiltshire. Before that Hampshire and started off in Surrey. So have progressed in a number of large leaps across the country. Think we must stay here a) because we like it but b) another leap would...

Pheasant netting can be bought in large sizes and would keep all flying predators out. It isn't too expensive, but it might be cheaper to replace the lost chickens.

Here in Carmarthenshire my husband and I are still plodding on. Not one egg hatched from my super (huh) new incubator. Saw some peachicks for sale so bought some of those and they arrived safely. Hope some of them are hens or it will have been another expensive mistake!! My poor old border...
