Daz have you ever bred french moulters or stress moulters before?

 

thankyou.

Yes I've had my share of FMs.

If you had a bird like this -

 

 

 

What would you do?

She has been wormed, sprayed for mites and given ivermectin. She did have flights and a tail but she just dropped them one day.

I have one of my grey greens babies in the kindie cage that dropped her flights and tail overnight. All others fine...she did the second she went into the kindie cage.

She has her two longest flights left right now and no others and no tail

do tails grow back?

Itdepends jimmy if its just a stress moult they usually do grow back.

The bird has been named stumpy.

do tails grow back?

I agree with Pearce.

Yes we've all been there... I could have won the Nationals last year but he didn't grow a tail

Yes Daz, the one that got away,he would of been the best budgie, you bred.

This is FM. When chicks are exposed later they only seem to lose flights and tails. You can tell coz the ends of the feather are pinched and sometimes you can see dried blood in the feather shafts. I have had nests where only a last chick has lost some flights/tail and other nests where I've had chicks fully bald and others only lose flight and tails a few days after going into the nappy cage.

 

Mostly the chicks like these grow their feathers back okay. The baldies don't recover well. I would leave it in the nappy cage until it's flights grew back, which it looks pretty much like they will.
