    Vomiting bird

    no - she's not tamed yet. It just looked grainy. I have a large block of grain I got from Chewy, maybe that's it? And no, didn't think of a picture - and she cleaned up pretty quick - shocked me.

    losing feathers around neck

    no, she is kind of top of the peckin' order, since I got her and her buddy. The others were still peeping and these 2 are hens and lay. The "q-tip" look looks "feathery." I got some antiseptic Vetramycin and gonna try and get some on her this week. But I haven't checked for mites. I'm...

    losing feathers around neck

    I adopted what owner told me was a "faverolle (sp?) and he said she was bullied, so she needed a new home, and her neck feathers had light patches of skin, no feathers. Well, her neck feathers seem to be getting less, rather than sprouting new ones. Last week, there were a few little spots on...

    Pemethrin yard spray?

    what about Terro? It's supposed to be non-toxic - I use it in the house - kind of sugary, you'd probably have to put a cover or frame of some kind to keep birds from pecking at it. Google it - wow, and I thought my problem with bluejays was bad. Yu shdn't wear flipflops with all that poop...

    Need help sexing 4 different chicks. 4 different breeds.

    I thought if wing feathers were "straight" rather than "rounded," they were roos? I have five and a couple look like 408 and a couple like 326 with long tail feathers! Help!
