    For Aussie Breeders Feed Brands Help Needed

    Your young birds that died would have definitely been killed by an overdose of calcium. You shouldn't feed them layer or finisher pellets until they are no longer juveniles. The calcium overload will kill them for sure. Always read the back of the bag, it will say who to feed it to: is, ducks...

    Help. My jap bantam Roo is choking.

    . Now he has coughed up a chunk of flesh!!! Still calm, not distressed but has coughed a few blood streaks on his newspaper. Stopped gurgling but still stretching neck to breathe. He's my favorite. I don't want to cull him. Doesn't seem in pain.

    I have one roo with one hen in one of my pens. It seems fine, just make sure she has a roost to get up on to escape if he bothers her too much. He only hassles her when she is on the ground, if she gets fed up she flies up and sits up there for a while to get away.

    You need more hens, or separate all but one rooster when they start to crow, please. They will kill her if you leave them all together when they are sexually mature. All of the five boys will be jumping on her all day long, she wouldn't last long like that.
