In the Brooder
Hello, I have recently been looking into Cabots. The Pair that I will be purchasing will be off Ron Sumner's Imported Stock. The person with them is one of the top breeders in the United State's, so I'm positive that these birds are special. As I start to plan for these birds, I have ran across many Aviary concepts. I have decided to build a 12'x24' for the pair, keeping it planted. As I have been told, I need uto have 2 run ways in the pen with no opsticals so the male can chase the hen in a straight run, giving the hen a chance to move into the brush. I also will place a boulder in the pen, giving the male a place to overlook the aviary. These birds must be kept in a absolutely clean pen, as they can contribute respiratory problems. The house will be 6' wide by 12' long. This will have 1 hole going to the outside, so I can close it for a few weeks as the Chicks build their strength. This shed will be 8' high also, so I can place the box high up.I will also have a window for the shed for the winter months. The birds I am getting, are probably the last few that aren't related. If anyone knows, Ron Sumner imported 2-3 pairs from China and then later had 3 pairs imported from Glen Howe in Canada who also imported Cabots. If anyone wants any information about these wonderful birds, feel free to ask. I will help in anyway possible.
