They have their wing feathers, but not feathers down their body yet.
I figured with 13 chicks, they can snuggle to keep warm...right? The erea
they have for sleeping is draft free. Totally inclosed and locked up at night.
Soo...I can put them out? Or wait? Sorry I have a slow working mind
When...
Hi, I have ten chicks in a brooder inside the house, and 3 chicks in a very
large coop outside. The chicks inside are starting to become a big handful,
and we'd like to put them outside - but they are only 11 days old. That's barely
a week! However temperatures are 93-98 F in the day time and...

My macaw's chest has been all frazzled looking for months now, and
if anything its getting worse...Does this look like an early stage
of plucking to you? Hes not in molt.
thanks.
Just a tad? We scrambled some eggs, and was going to give
them to our chickens, but there was a dab of butter on the pan
to keep them from sticking..thats ok right? Im really worried I'll
give them somthing they shouldn't have so It never hurts
to ask!
Thanks!

I know it's better than it *was*, but I'm not seeing "she's totally fine" when you tell us that "even with walks daily she has to run tied out for about an hour to be calm when she comes inside<snip> she bolts and then gets jerked back"

I dont think my parents would be very happy about an electric fence.
I have a sibling whos very young, and would most likely end
up hurting himself on it.

to fencing. Shes totally fine We've also made a huge improvement on training.

We have a somewhat sturdy stake, ( the best we could find ) And a 20 ft. tie out

We have been looking for fencing, because Im not a fan of tieing them out either.
Since we don't have the money to do the whole yard, We thought about fencing
in behind our garage, because it's cement back there so they can't dig. However,
Since times are really rough and moneys tight...
Yes, you can post pictures of her bum on this website Im sure it's normal, but Not sure about the bleeding lumps.
I hope you get some help. Please post pictures soon!
In my opinion - no. It can cause 'sore hocks' which is where their back feet
get abcesses from being on the wire... If left with no treatment it can cause
serious infections. But thats my opinion.. As long as you give her a place with
solid ground (cardboard, carpet etc) it should be fine...
Washing them with ANY liquid cleaner, or water will wipe off their protective coating,
which will make it more easy for disease and bacteria to enter...Plus rubbing, and wiping
tends to actually push bacteria through the pores of the egg. It's reccommended to just
stay away from dirty eggs...
