you dont need grit.

Very nice birds You have done very well :rofl:

he sure is Macka...a real softie.Good thing one of us knows some of the animals have to be moved on :rofl: Eyes opening today too

Dont know. Maybe birds used to be hardier than they are these days as we breed them further away from the original budgie. Maybe seed used to be better than it is today too

shift the perch away from the food container as its too close and she will poop in her seed. Make sure there is more seed in the dish than the amount in it now.

Dont believe all the "blurb" on the back of products they expect you to repeatedly buy when not necessary ask here if in doubt.

isnt that what gb said? The key word is AGREE

NO Perfect only one thing......why spray the cage for mites when there are none on the bird ? You dont need to do that. All else ............Perfect. When I die I want to come back as one of your birds :rofl:

Very sad to hear Patrick definitely the cock that did it ?

Good to see you here and active Jeff and well done to your boys.

More fat little puppies aged 12 days. Click picture for slideshow

Hard plastic should be fine...use thick ones they cant bite through easily.

and my grey spangle is a reserve for the nationals team ....which means he likely wont go unless others get sick or lose tailfeathers etc.

I have a favourite.........Memphis seeing him always makes me smile. and of course my other favourite is Omelette my foundation hen

Tell that to Ken he is the one that wants to keep them all

Two of the puppies have been chosen already. My youngest daughter and her fiance have chosen this boy and another nice family newly arrived from the U.K. have chosen this little boy I think his name will be FERGUS

Thanks mate The milk running not consistently I believe was diue to her being in hospital for those vital couple of days while we had the pups at home on the bottle. Milk supply is good now and Maggie has worked out she can get out and relax in between feeds and puppies dozing for awhile. I put Maggie outside sometimes too to be with her mum and Harley while the pups sleep. Pups are taking longer and more contented naps with full bellies as the milk has reached consitency of quality and supply now. There is no discontented squarking like they arent being fed well enough or anything. maggie is being fed top quality food and costing the earth. She's special and she is made to feel special too. She wont want to go live outside again when its all over and done with. Ken is a shocker for wanting pupies and kittens around him..........he is terrible at deciding if someone deserves one of the pups.........or not Not wanting kittens, Tish ( my devon rex ) got speyed a few days back. Ken wasnt too happy about that.

Thats what i thought. I have had the odd adult with it and they didnt do too well. Make sure when you do the forced burp thing they are vertical or they can aspirate.

I dont know the prognosis for ruptured air sac....just know what it is when I see it. Time to google.... and fingers crossed.

Sounds like the air sac is ruptured.

also...dont foster any that are fully feathered at 3-4 weeks unless the foster nest has so many at the same stage that they wont be noticed

Some very nice chicks GB........some with nice spots and long masks

Twice a day is enough. She will feed the second chick after its recovered hatching. A lot of males go in and help ............all good so far
