  6. Thank you Kaz for fast reply. Any chance she will recover and be able to go into flight with others?
  7. I have had this hen for about 4 months. After i brought her home (from pet shop) i noticed she had no flight feathers. I assumed her wings were clipped and they'd grow back.As an absolute beginner i didn't know any better. A couple of months later some feathers had grown back but always fell out straight away. Did some research and thought it could be french moult. Tail feathers are fine. So now i have notice she is flying around her cage okay, one wing good, other wing a bit dodgy. I thought i'd see how she'd go having a fly around in the spare aviary. After a few minutes i noticed blood on her wings. Has she got french moult? What should i do?
  8. Will his stance change when he matures? I think he is beautiful

    oh he is very sweet. Such a cutie. I hope he grows big and strong for you AB. Sometimes we do know better than our parents. When i was a teenager and got my first job i saved up and bought some quails. I loved them so much. I noticed they weren't getting along and i told my mum i had to separate them. She said 'they'll sort it out', next morning i had 1 dead because 2 cocks had fought to death. It would be hard to resist this little face
  11. Yes, i agree. I haven't named my aviary birds but one male has earned the name Randy because he likes to chat up all the girls.

    I was having a stab in the dark.
  13. Is it a wormer you add to drinking water?
  14. Hi TaniaZL, If Dimitri is not afraid of your hand that's a good start. You can try to gently nudge your finger in front of his legs (under his belly). He might step up onto your finger. Good luck

  17. Sounds like its lovely weather in the UK Weather has been pretty nice over here the last couple of days. Sunny 15c during day and has dropped to 1c overnight. I live close to the ocean so we get some good winds too. My mother in law and brother in law are off to the UK next friday.
  18. Hi GB, No luck as in, don't bother asking because they don't want you. Maybe they only want experienced breeders? Why can't there be a club on the mornington peninsula? Please!
  19. Sorry, I may have over exaggerated and I don't want to cause trouble. I rang someone that has a lot to do with BCV (judge). He said I'd have no luck joining 'this club'. Thank you for your encouragement, it's just a little disheartening. Thats a very good idea
  20. Thanks KAZ. I was not too sure whether it was allowed to use this photo here. In 'real live' he looked more yellow suffused. So what do you think guys? Yellowface, Mutation 2, Single Factor? Yes, YF mutation 2. I'm guessing. Yes, I think so as well.....but is it single factor or double factor? I have no idea. Best wait for an answer from the experts.

  22. Thank you for the good advice. My problem is finding a club that will have me. okay i already live over an hour from the nearest club, NO NEW MEMBERS!! okay second nearest doesn't even exist anymore. So the club that does welcome new members is about 4 hours away. Maybe i should quit while i'm ahead.
