    I'm making a hive and looking for a source for aluminium sheet and mesh floor

    Printers plates, made up 5 nuc roofs today, got 3 out of a B1 plate. The other two came from the offcuts left from some National roofs done the other week. Cuts easily and bends very nicely if you clamp the fold line between two pieces of wood. Also recommend mesh company.

    Last time I did this I just used primer. Good thick coat and touched up any bits that needed once original coat was dry. Had no cases if splitting, that was on sycamore. Pete

    Still reeling at this end with all the info. Never ceases to amaze me the depth of information held within the members of this forum. Seems to have made Hedgerows brain hurt a little as well. Pete

    Week old chicks

    Any of you beeks poultry keepers also. Just got some week old chicks, they are currently on a feed that includes a anti coccidistat. Should I continue or put them on chick crumbs without the additive.
