okay guys i will look at tail shaft shorter mop longer normal and i will check the feather sheath she has normal sound when she does chirp which is not much her feathers are quiet tidy so i will go and asess her as im going to feed her again if she has not feed herself or been feed thanks guys i will get more pics too

i think he is dom pied i still dont get the clearflight pied dom thing i gave up so....no help sorry

well she still looks green bird too me but i would breed her topa white faced bird to get even her type 1 or two straight before i would a yf anything as if she is yf anything half chicks or at least one will be yf unless you only get mabe two then you may need a second clutch to determine oh its all so complicated lol

i thought their feathers were ment to grow at a rapped rate and also that the tail feathers were ment to be more than normal mmmmmmmm and here i was thinking i finally got a goodn i did feel in my gut something was wrong ...however his sisters and brothers are all long feathered as she is and they are all also very big this is whats confusing me it was possable to get a supper chick from the pairing i paired so....thats why i was uncertain but i will go with you guys on this however i will wait for a few more responces although you guys are probbly right id hate to send a good bird to god if were wrong but also i dont want to keep it alive if it is as its hungry im feeding it extra twice a day do people agree its a mop ???? thanks guys for your opinion i can get more pics if needed just let me know what to snap and i will i really want to be sure on this one before i do anything hasty

i was thinking she is sitting very lazy though the wings look like all my other birds breed the thing that gets me is is very light and very thin is feather mass is huge but apart from that its feather develop meant is in time its beak is fine tail feathers and its quiet but when it does churp its normal and quiet loud i guess i will have to wait and see i just wish i could tell now as i will send it to god soon as i know as i rather that than it suffer ( they do suffer )

i do agree with that but as i said up some in your case id look into it further (not sure about the bin but it wouldn't be breed and id find someone that wanted to care for it

okay so here are some pics and just say what you see then i will explain why these not mum and dad these foster birds it is the lacewing on cage floor these birds not related yet same age i put it in a plastic tub to get a clear picture for you guys but didnt work well so i supplemented it yesterday as it was not feed much okay what do you guys think is it okay or something wrong with it its 4 weeks old it was hatched on jan 4th this year its very light compared to my other chicks and its not got a full crop ever ??? can you see the feathers on its head they part and flop when it puts its blow on is it me or could something be wrong with this chick im hopeing its just a good bird and im on my way however im not to sure

well i got all that right i got all birds and related birds everything to work mind you took me forever but then i could not record pairs and chicks it wouldnt let me why i dont know so i did give up after it stuffed my com i figured something was up

this is why i never take injerd birds to vets my cocky would be dead if a vet had of got him i rescued him as a small nestling covered in black oil at a petrol station its good to have some knowledge of birds animals in general so you can asses an injured one as some times its as simple as a broken wing and all thats needed is a sling to set the bone in place sure they can not fly again but they are fine was it just the wing or did it have internal bleeding or what as if it was only the wing i would not be happy with this vet clinic my vet fixed a black bird with a broken wing and it was just a black bird its wing was poping through something i cant fix next time asess the bird or take to wild life shelter a vet is a vet wild life shelter is just that for wild life their are nummbers everywhere and they send someone to pick the animal up

OH GB! The little girl you were has my complete sympathy!! . Have you ever camped at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore? thanks i was very disturbed it was a hour walk i was crying whole way the cat was identical right down to the red collor with studs lol i really thought it was mine coming home from school i was in grade one and the cat was stiff cold and very heavy i had to rest quiet often it was some effort im not sure if i was happy to see my cat when i arived or not as it was quiet desturbing to think i carryed a dead cat home only to have him curl around my leg while i held what i thought was him :rofl: no i never camped their have you ever camped at debford its a old minning place , quiet a spooky experience i must say

now i really dont know yet myself so dont quote me but i read that a budgie with what they call french blue which is what gemma seemed to have is a Australian grey (im not saying she is as i also was told they are no longer )and grey were just grey i have no clue i just figure they are grey carrying cobalt but thats what mauve is so mave comes in the three shade factors of light medium and dark so...

i have read that it is some thing that can be a genetic linkage but really its just an ingrown feather so i fail to see the genetic disturbance of that its just as if we were to get ingrown to nails or hairs if it was something that reoccurred on a bird i probably would just cull that bird out but that is because if im going to be breeding birds i want time spent checking health of chicks and keeping flock maintained not every few months or weeks taking an hour of my time to squeeze bath and dry a bird only for it to become unwell with infection again a month or two latter however in your case splat its not really a feather cyst caused by normal circumstances id mabe pay a few dollors now and find out what your really dealing with as you dont need to pay 200.00 for that mabe 45 for check up if he says tummur then m i wouldnt breed her if he says feather cyst id keep her see how she goes if you get any chicks come up with this probblem then cull them and mabe not follow breeding her again cysts normally in older hens due to as some one said density of feather and difficulty breaking molt it is in some family's but when it is its quiet prominent and you would quickly find out i think you will find it was something that caused that not a genetic link or a tummur get your vets advice he will be back soon will he not take her in as money spent now will be money saved latter if you breed her and it is something more that affects the stud sorry im not much help am i

lol dont forget them ...was that tip as yours are burnt me id start a kitchen fire im sure so will stick to the white king and sunshine im glad he looks happyer already

ha ha master lol chookbreeder i like that must use it next time we meet lol hello master

sorry darl i could not see them properly to comment but they look nice colours

Elephant Rock? No, doesn't ring a bell. Have you ever trecked up Cradle Mountain? no did you ever go out and when you woke up to go home youwere already in your house lol

lol something we agree on

lol nt i think you ment

no you ever been to elephant rock

no but in refrance to the cat thing when i was a kid i carried a dead cat all the way home crying only to be greeted by my own when mum opened the door asking what i was doing with a dead cat :rofl: :rofl: and no i have never been snorkeling but would love too have you ever grown a tomato plant or a capsicum pumpkin extra after being sick after a good night of dinning and drinks

let it fill splat see if it is yellow this time more than brown watery red just now you have got the core of the blister it should fill up again and if no change in a bout three to for days a week if its stays stable then id splice it again but how i said to using the benidine as a wash out injection before you squeeze the blood out or liquored out not leaving anything in their as that is whats causing the re swelling its like our own blood blisters unless u uncover it to raw it blisters up again you can get the stuff that our mums put on us that violet stuff its to dry out woonds you need that if you decide to cut it right off if you do you need twezers to hold the blister empty skin and a razor sharp surgical blade to gently cut around the bottom edge of blister till out off so theirs no skin covering wound it needs to be protected from infection but needs to air dry not much else you can do bar vet apart from that good luck hun is she inside id bring her in if you open it right up

oh yes i forgot about the fact that they would be all blue each clutch if shes mauve i was thinking if she was split blue but green you would get blues and greens lol see my brain is not working at moment of time they will have beautiful chicks regardless and i knew i was right about the normal white and the df yf white ...couldnt explan it though right now so thanks nub

i give it but not really sure if it was safe nothings dead yet lol i give almost anything we can eat exempt for onion avacarto however its spelt and chocolate no rubarb either theirs lots of stuff you cant give but most herbs are okay their is a sight with a list of safe herbs for birds somewhere, i cant surf net so cant link you to it sorry my brother set my com up for me with the book marks for what i do and need i steel alot of links from here and book mark for myself for reference latter

see from your little probblem i learn t a big thing i would never of thought of skaily mite under a ring but no where else this handy to know thanks guys

i cant spell it either im glad you took the chop as really you could see it was something blocking something and causing a blood blister i would have gone the slice and dice myself i usually do vets just a back up plan and ive lost no birds dealing with things myself but i do have a bit of an idea of what im doing and proper surgical blades extra and dont touch anything i dont know what needs doing unless vet says its going to die anyhow benadine is awsome stuf make sure you get it right into the wound not her eye though always needs to be watered down id cover the eye and squirt it right iside the opening of wound so it gets into the blood blister useing an eye dropper or even inject a small amount in to it next time u pop it before u squeze or relize blood out and splat give her a few days and go the squeeze let her squawk it will only hurt once get everything out but like i said inject a tad watered down ben that stuff lol into with the syringe before you squeeze it all out but do all at once does that make sence as now you got the main infection if it bloods up again you need to dry it out one last time to stop reinfection
