building paradise for the birds

[birdman55]

giving an update...I got the second door up so that coop is all done...the only one left now is the big coop which will be used for offspring of the pheasants...got that coop all wired in with the 2x4 inch wire and gotta finish it up with the chicken wire and hang the net and all done...I have been lazy with all the hatching and stuff around the house so I kinda took a break from the building....
got the rest of the pheasants all wormed...just waiting for the leg bands for the peafowl and I will worm them next...cant wait should be getting the five new peacocks soon and found a couple more pea hens that are of breeding age so well see if I get them as well....all Is going well here with the birds...I cleaned out the chicken coop and the pheasant coop and put in new straw...glad that's done...will be worming all the chickens and first set of pheasants again here on the 21st so I will be glad to have all that done so I can concentrate on the building of the brooders and rest of the incubators...man I cant wait....well here are some pics...going to be a lot....so hope you enjoy them
peach golden which I gave a foot soak in Epsom salt to today...that was interesting...she had poo frozen to her foot....so I figured I would get it off and wormed her too

my little birdy...I really enjoy these birds and cant wait for them to get their colors

what are you using to worm?

 

[birdman55]

what are you using to worm?

I used safeguard at 21/3tbsp per gallon for five days straight for the chickens...and all the pheasants got 1/2cc orally per bird....yes I handled all of my pheasants one by one...and put bands on them...and they will be handled again on the 21st and on the 29th for their second application...on the pheasants I used valbazen...and the chickens will get valbazen on their second dose...and I will orally give them there dose as well

Your birds are beautiful as always, cant wait to see them this weekend!! You wanted 3 dozen trader joe eggs right? Or did you have a whole foods or trader joes preference? We plan on going to both but dunno how fresh eggs will be, etc. And you didnt want any Blue Iowa, Chantecler or EEs correct?

 

[birdman55]

im up for the eggs that fine....thanks again...ill be available sunday...so we can plan for sunday

 

[misfitmorgan]

i think we are going down saturday but your only 45mins away so shouldnt be a problem comming over sunday.

 

[birdman55]

sounds like a plan...I cant wait to get that coolerbator rocking and rolling....lol...try and get a variety if you could...thanks so much

 

[misfitmorgan]
