to watch the small partridges burst into life when you tip them in is a true wonder

iv used peanut butter still no good in field environment rat bait still the best poured in the holes and covered

Thats a shame because alot of the videos on UA-cam show successfully kills with peanut butter. Good luck.

about four weeks if all ok

give them time to accustom themselves to the area/pen and then trickle them out of the pen a few at a time just a few each day when they are mostly hanging around the outside let them all go try to pick a quiet place with good cover on the edge of an open field

They are around ten weeks old when put in the release pen and trickled out over a few weeks, if a pair of wild adults turn up around the pen when they are being released I let the lot out in one go as the adult birds will adopt them and will make a good job of looking after them

Kunja you can buy small number of eggs from eBay or large number from a game farm

yes agree very expensive also especially for the uk should only be used indoors, also research needs to be carried out on different bait as its different for each continent I

thanks its a lifestyle

@@johnygreenfeet lifestyle and way of life

so sorry Amelia iv only just seen your message hope all went ok you can buy the bits from Colins nets or agri game put them on at two weeks old if they are attacking one another you will need to take them off at six weeks old, if you have only a small number of birds you may not need them at all as they tend not to in small amounts

yes much easier than English partridge

thanks glad you like them

I will post details of the fertility for this seasons eggs ,my main incubators digital controller has failed so I'm awaiting another at the moment . some keepers have two cock birds in a 10x10 pen but with that you get fighting , larger pens have more male birds but you will aways get a dominant few and some that will keep out of the way. what works for some dosent all ways work for others

first five hundred candled 27 clear not bad from first eggs picked up I will try and do further up date

@@johnygreenfeet Yes very good. Looking forward to seeing more of your rearing👍

the eggs during incubation I leave dry for best results then when the eggs start piping I try and get the humidity as high as possible you can even spray the eggs with a little warm water but its best not to open incubator if at all possible so close all vents until hatching over

I don't understand could you elaborate

Gerald swain would you eat them (prick )

Many factors need to be right , time of year , day light , food , type of environment they are kept in ,

just tip them buy the water and they will eat them when they start to break down you can chop them with a spade to start with to give them a head start

its an inferred heat lamp to keep the young chicks warm, they would be unable to survive in the natural temperature, and need this for about three weeks

@@johnygreenfeet ok dear thanks

Syed Sadiq unfortunately I don’t if you have any questions please ask and I will try to help

do you have contract no of this vedeo

i want to purchase this chicks give me your full address

look at guns on pegs

Also placing the trap higher up and perfectly vertical, seemingly, prevents hedgehogs getting into the trap, as their ability to climb vertical surfaces is very limited, unlike rats and mice.

hi fototrotter your spot on the English countryside is so diverse and is home to many small creatures that have a right and place each lure will atract different things and same alike its so important to get the lure right my own view is that i will not be useing in the British countryside due to the complex wildlife and farming cultures that we have, cities and small islands yes also as you say shear number that would be needed to ring fence an area during my time using the trap I changed the feeder to stop the birds leaving a mess and excluding rats as to them eating crops I think it better to fill rat holes with bait and bury them so I have no need for the trap

hi super marbelleI think the trap would be fine in NY city with the right lure its in a diverse country side that you start to get problems with so many other creatures to look out for one small mouse is a meal for a barn owl ! thanks

hi nick The problem I have is after identifying the rodent I want to kill Its getting it to put its head in the kill trap and I have tried all manor of baits and it just dosent work I thought this would be the best thing since sliced bread I under Stand that they are very proud of it in New Zealand and im not trying to upset any one but when you have spent over £120 on some thing that has only killed one rat in a year and five other people have tried it and cant get it to work it is a little disappointing as you can see plenty have left demeaning comments as if they know better , If you look at the manufacture videos they are leaving them all over the countryside, In the uk it will soon be illegal to use poison and spring traps out side of a building yes out side of a building This has been identified as the only replacement in this country so far, the only way to kill a flipping rat or stoat is to throw the thing at one this trap is not an alternative to a spring trap or as yet to poison on open land im very sorry everyone but that is my findings so if you work for DEFRA take note

Earthbound Peasant I don't know if you've seen this video or tried the procedures on it already but here it is anyway hope it helps mate ua-cam.com/video/cxCDTjdBOjg/v-deo.html

I see plenty of videos in and around buildings where I can use what I want to kill rats but I don't want to because all food and harbourage for rats have been removed so I never have a problem in the first place can you find me a video of a 90 acre field of maize next to a pen of partridges with the trap working because that is were I want to kill the rats men and ladies in suits in the city have decided that it will and are going to ban spring traps and poison this is my point and my only point I can not get it to work what you don't know is that the baits being used is not available in uk as yet because hedge hogs and harvest mice will eat them If I wanted to spend the rest of my life in prison I would to but im am trying very hard to comply with the law

Earthbound Peasant that's a tough one mate sorry it didn't help if I come across a solution in regards to your problem I'll certainly pass it on to you ☺

Hi Gregory The law is very different in New Zealand as to the uk I would be put in prison for ever if I did what you say (meat baits and traps) those were the days my friend not any more, (to many hocked beeks) please read uk law bating rats is only alowed in and around buildings not in fields and I would get ten years for killing a hedge hog with an A24 so I think cinnamon a no no stay lucky my friend!

Yes, I forgot how feudal England was, and still is, compared to other countries. For poaching the King's deer or other animals you would get your hands cut off, or worse, in the Middle Ages. And English peasants had to 'law' their dogs(extract the claws) to stop the dogs from coursing the King's deer. Very strict, and relatively still so! Good luck. kiwiwriting.tripod.com

You fucking ars wipe

Well spotted just gose to show if you create it

thanks, more on the way

hi Andy you can cut any tree to make instant cover as long as some bark is still intact ,some may work best just bending them over and stacking some old wood on it if they are quite large they will most likely die, hazel ,blackthorn ,hawthorn , elder ,willow when small will work well it should only be cut like this when the sap isn't rising ie when there is no leaf, try to lay one over another year 1 will not be as good as year 3 by the time you get to year 5 start cutting again but it will work best if you do some each year. be mindful that the trees maybe of value to someone . letting in light from above will make a big difference to, hope this helps

Earthbound Peasant ok thanks

Earthbound Peasant whats the best time of year to do it?

hi Andy best time is before the sap starts to rise ie winter time

hi kane thanks for your reply I will try salmon pate I think it would be to small for a hedgehogs but not young ones I'm starting to worry that the trap will be to indiscriminate for my use I will use excluders

Earthbound Peasant let us know how you get on, i will be doing some field trials on them next week, they look like the most promising trap ive seen so far.

An anchovy based lure would be good, very strong smelling. Mixed with a gelling agent.

hi 58kym iv have tried anchovy paste also lobster oil didn't work I have ordered some lure from Germany as yet there are no lures available in the uk to buy for mustelids seems a bit of a taboo here in the uk not very common to bait traps or if people do they don't talk much about it if you kill a hedge hog with this trap in the uk they will put you in prison for ten years! even a baited spring trap so iv got to be very careful what I use many thanks for the input

thank you carl. iv bought a jar but iv yet to use it I'm still trying the original recipe but not having much luck iv now got mice in my discovery that I use around the shoot. iv put the trap on the passenger seat at the moment I will change it tomorrow and I will post back results

thanks Antaine

hi Cedric the greys go really wild when you introduce the ants I place the pots where ants are likely to be and leave them for a year , to start with you can just find some and dig them up if you can find the ant eggs they will really go for them or you can boil a hen egg and feed them the boiled yolk . crumb it in your hand and drop it amongst them

Earthbound Peasant Thanks for the Great advice!! Really like your videos

Good idea. Hundreds and thousands cake decos scattered on chick crumb also works to simulate moving feed.

Thank you for taking the time to comment I have the refill pouch and have banana aniseed lobster oil , I will try curry , I think it will need something special to trap truly wild rats out in the open in the uk and Europe, in the uk the season is short for sweet fruit and thus they will not be tempted by sweet treats this would probably be different in and around buildings where bait trapping is legal, you may well have a good point with hungrier . I believe the level of intelligence is key to rats success and it is very successful, one day we will find something that works well and it will be the making of the trap

I wouldn't use curry as a lure for rats , I was using it to discourage rats from eating my cyanide paste - the rats here didn't like the curry at all so would leave my baits alone for the possums to eat ,yes the rats could eat the cyanide get a 'hit' off it and then bugger off . In one area I would sometimes have the baits left by the rats but the possum bodies chewed on making them worthless - they were fetching a good price back then $50+ for a good pelt (in the '80s) out of a 100 baits you would expect 30+ possums .Another thing worth considering is the setting of the A24 to discourage mince getting up into the trap but making free access for the larger rat .

I think they were successful in NZ because they were used in remote areas where rats were the problem, not mice, and they were an introduced species (unlike in the UK) and a threat to native wildlife. In the UK, there is much greater biodiversity and mice and rats are both endemic, so any trap set up to kill rats will kill mice too if they're there.

thanks for the comment and I think you are spot on , DEFRA have just written a report on the trap being of limited use in the uk on stoats due to difference here a NZ I just hope the DOC trap gets a lot cheeper
