this is very interesting thread pitty i fall asleep when i read alot however between waking and reading i just want to add i belive chicken really does benifit the birds i done this carcass method for years birds love it and as kaz said no longer than 1 to two hours in aviry they do devour it all

very nice chicks linda cant wait for update

first third and fourth from left hand side

sounds great what you have done just keep watch as if blood flow is not going through leg will need leg removed and bone removed by vet this cost me around 80 dollors other wize bird will die from blood poisoning if you can see bone broken i would go to vet now rather than later

i still say rec pied but oh well put to normal hen you will find out for sure

i think you have done well with him then if all hens look like this lovley birds he is lovley isnt he

its all good then leave her do her job or you may stress here and she will pluck when chicks older

well i think he is a rec pied from a dom split receive pied and a split rec pied pair i have a few kaz and he does not have enough wing markings to be a dom so.... sorry to be diffrent but im sticking to this as my rec looks dom but its rec for sure and i get one each clutch they are paired the rest clutch are all doms though and all hens so far have been split rec pied through out the generations

just the smallest little dot of yellow stuff is needed seed is not good nor is air is mum new mum i wouldnt worry though and if you say it has some food in crop i would just leave this bird now check in morn you could be disturbing mum

i say if your teacher wont listen go higher it is a class pet after all see the principle about this issue after all teachers are meant to be role models

wow very nice bubs dave specially the cinn grey hen as for ... lol maybe i should come with him for a holiday not sure I am up to entertaining at the moment :hap: like you could deal with me not :laughter: is anyone?!?!?!?!?! besides i am not sure i would fit in the carry box :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: you could take yourself on as hand luggage. Not sure if it is cheaper for frieght if you travel in the same cage as the bird. Hmmmmmm. :rofl: not sure i want to be caged in with the birds lol think i will stay home i will send you a vial of my violets manhood lol next year you can ai your hen ( imagined if this was poss would change breeding for ever for worst i think )

i dont normally worry untill about 4 hours then if not feed by eight i move chick or if chick looking weak i move to get fed and then once feed by diffrent hen i stick it straight back with mum and cheack again in few hours im not sure when really so but im sure some one else will u would think i would know but honestly i dont

welcome your family's lovely hope to see rest soon

rip how do you tell a brown wing when its matured i have a spangle 2 year old no spot on head just spangle lite green its got brown eyes and its irise ring is also brown you can just see it it is their could it be a full spangled winged rec pied or a brown wing spangle although its wings look black to me ???

generous but pretty pointless the hen wont learn to raise if she doesnt have a chick to learn with myself if i was you do you know anyone who would live close by who has mabe a 3 day old chick that you could place in the nest when second egg due ??? as that would get the hen to feed and also raise one bub so next time thibgs will run smooth this is what happens putting only on or two pairs up you need at least 3 to 4 pairs each time you breed for encases like this and this hen should not be breed straight again not for at least 6 or more months hence why rens offer not very efichant

birds eat seed their idiots you dont find pellets growing out in the wild do u just as you been doing and extra stuff as per norm why no to probots i dont know why the lady would say he didnt need them well great to hear hes home

its good your birds are loving it kaz next time try getting a mix with the actual chaff as well with tad of malaise birds love it and still get the pellets its good as a prevention against eating the poo on floor as the prefer to nibble the little sticks of weet and grasses my birds love it i get one called jack rabbit its cheep as per 20 kg and lasts for ever if stored right i was told red hen chicken pellets but haven't tried as yet so....

this hen is defenently yf rec pied opaline spangle i breed all time i think if you go back look at the post i did say i think she was either mauve or violet not sure if i mentioned the opaline and spangled im going to say oviously not it is hard from pics to see opaline and spangle in a yf rec pied even in life its not till chicks fleged i can some thimes tell dad is as said split opaline so that above is your awnser as kaz said df who cares what colour its the factor needed when breeding so as you can work out what colours you can get in future

my praying he pulls through

it that how they do it kaz i really wasnt sure so i have never done it in my show birds just pets i was going to ask how you did it but though i would just wait untill i get myself organize before makeing things more complexed could you do a quick how to do in point form what age chicks can be extra or is the above itI dont remove the hen at chicks aged two weeks. I have some hens from a breeder who does this and the hens in my opinion have been conditioned to only rear chicks to the 2 wk old stage, then they either want them out of the nest and pluck them or push them out, or they stop feeding thinking their job is done. I wont do it due to this reason. okay i will just do it the good old way in time :rofl: besides their is no benifits to rushing second rounds the out come is the same

im with hamish you may throw her cycle out but really i dont know i never done it myself however i have removed cock bird left hen to raise then when chicks flegded replaced a ne cock after chicks get moved to kindy cage leave mum on own for week rest then put the new cock in this way she feeds chicks not so worryed about partner missing raises clutch then rests and exepts new cock eaggerly

oh that's cool as you go girl
