Here are some pictures to compare with the before and after - Cock close up. His beak is looking so much better and his wounds from the scaly mite burrows coming off are healing :hap: - and again - His feet look alot better also although there's still some minor mites left. He also had scaly mites on his wings (where the feather quill enters the skin) Although after a treatment that has healed also - Hens beak. looking MUCH better and has almost finished the re-shaping, no more drop down bits or over grown bottom mandible. - again - And her feet, looking sooo good! although she lost ALOT of toe nails which were only connected by the mite burrows to her toes.

The cock is sooo gorgeous now!!! He'd be much younger than I originally thought when he was ill. They've both put on weight and are normal sized birds now, the hen even has a partner and the cock flirts all day with branches:P - Doing his "I'm so sexy pose" I have a photo of the hen, but photobucket won't let me upload it or work for me at all, so i'll have to post her at a later stage Link to comment
