    I have to be more careful. Really feel bad. Having two kept each other company. This one will follow me and will chirp loudly at my feet wanting me to hold it. Tail feathers coming out. 1/2 " in length. Colors coming in the wings.

    Found Chicks Alone

    Chicks got seperated from their mom. Most likely fell from the big Mango tree. Chicks are doing well. If I can't see them I'll call Chew, chew, chew, or Buck, Buck, Bahhh. And they come running to me. They also go up to me to rest or take a nap.

    Found Chicks Alone

    Well, I bought the starter food and they didn't like it. They prefer the small seeds and the poultry treats - defend immune support formula. They really like the dried fly larvae. Sometimes I have them loose and they will peck on small bugs. They will chase a live one and eat it.

    Hi

    I think so or breed them to sell. What they do is walk around with a rooster that has a rope tied to its leg then spot a rooster to have a fight. As the thief pulls the rop, the rooster he wants gets closer and then gets him. There are some that raise roosters for a living. They sell them...
