    Scissor beak help

    I use a large raised dog bowl. To make it easier on myself, I make enough crumble mixed with water fo feed all my girls Fluffy get a 5 to 10 minute head start. When she was still growing I added Exact handfeeding bird formula to the mash. It really helped her catch up.

    I have not found anyone willing to take him. He is such a good boy, just very vocal. So I'll keep him until I can't anymore. I'm going to keep him inside until he's done crowing in the mornings. Thanks for the info!

    Ways to help scissor beak chick gain weight

    I have a 7 week old light brahma with a severe scissor beak. We bought a jar of hand feeding parrot food (formula?) and have been adding some of that to her mash and it has really made a difference. She is gaining weight steadily and she is much more active.
