Breeding In Winter
My 2 that are rasing and sitting are the only 2 that I will do until come spring ... I haven't had issues before with winter and bubs, But they go thru a lot more feed especailly with 2 hens on 5 chicks that is an extra 10 birds to feed, considering that the b irds are eating more to stay warmer to so I go thru a lot, But i won't put any more up until after winter is ended .... P.s they are out side too

Clipping Toenails ~~
I've never clipped nails, never had to either, branches should be changed for frequently then a year - I do mine every 2 months as my gnaw at them and pull them apart, not to mention some get dirtier then others too - Do be careful with naturaul perches/ branches even from your own yard should be washed ( i got red mite problems) so i learnt the hard way

Budgie Poo....again!
Have you tried a hospital cage to get them back to good health( how to is in FAQ) .... I started with corn first sprinkled with a little millet get a tin of corn, open it up and put into a glass bowl, put a teaspoon of corn sprinkled with seed in a little dish for the to invesgate and try ( seal the remaining corn put infridge) and retry the next day and so on and so on the corn will stay fresh in the fridge for ( i think5 days ( i throw i out after that ) so a 69c can will last better then buying fresh expensive veggies that will waste the first week with introducing veggies ..... Once they got the hang of corn, Peas are another good one ( bag of frozen peas last ( thaw in hot water and serve) then grated carrott, tin pineapple fresh celery and spinsh are great and brocoli too Best by far is Bok Choy ..... (Remember to serve at room temp)
