    Feathers

    Another beautiful day in the Ozarks. I am thinking about doing some art work and wondering if I have to sterilize the feathers first or doing anything to them to kill off any known bugs or nasties.

    beaks wide open

    I have 5 BRs and being very hot out it seems like they are having trouble breathing. They are all breathing through there mouth's. Should I worry about this? They are usually under the one shed taking dirt baths and then hang out in a little wood patch during the day cause it stays shady.
