Thanks guys, I think they call it beginners luck though :lol: I'm still trying to catch up with everything as I'm off to the Welsh National next weekend so I've still got to sort through my photos and upload the show report and some photos to the main site shortly but here's a photo of him in...

Hi Steve, Wow, a pretty serious collection then! You can do one of two things to post photos. 1. Reduce the photos down (to about 400 pixels wide) then use the "Upload Attachment" tab below the 'post a reply' box when composing a post - you then "Place Image inline" and it puts it where you...

Hello All, As some of you might have noticed, Snifter has stepped down as moderator due to recent other commitments. She has worked very hard since the forum started, not only on the day to day running of the forum, but also on shaping the way the forums are organised and the admin tasks. I...

Welcome Hazel, Thanks for saying hello! I look forward to meeting you in the forums. Tim

Hi Ian, No, at this time of year they will start to moult (lose and re-grow their feathers). Feathers are 80% protein and most of an egg is protein - so they stop laying eggs and put their efforts into regrowing feathers. As they get older, the moult takes longer but you should see feathers...

Hi Bantam Girl, Welcome to the Forum. I'm pleased you've joined us :D Tim

Hi Ian, Welcome to the forum. It's getting to the time of year when they will stop laying as they will be coming into moult. If they aren't moulting, there are some other reasons why they might stop laying but first, let us know if you see feathers in their run and if they look a bit...

Hi Phantom. I have read your post and it makes me feel so sad and very angry that he got into that state in the first place. No animal deserves that. I am very sorry to hear he died - it must be so hard for you to have seen him in this state and also to have had him die with you without being...
