They aren't bothering each other?

They aren't bothering each other?

not at all.....the finches stay up high on their perch and the buttons are still kinda in shock at the bottom. I have to put some more stuff in there for them like some plants and wood and of course a dust bath!

Are the finches going to poop on them?

it could happen but probably not.....they are not currently hanging out under the perch.....i’ll make sure to put something like a hideaway or possibly plants in that corner to protect them!

Okay went thru my most recent pics to crop some of the lav mans. Doesnt show much of the purple hue but you can see its there on my breeding hen. Thatsnot a trick of the light shes got a purplish look. Im not over the top for this color. I supose if you knew there were no other yellow color chicks in a hatch theyd be feather sexing at hatch but idk. Not scratching the project just not my ffavorites. Im kicking myself that i didnt come up with a way to keep a red male. Thats a color i just

I'm soooo annoyed with these males. They chased a hen so much today she wedged her body into the feeder, got her wings and legs pinned, and broke her neck struggling to free herself. Like I almost pulled all their heads off when I finally found her. I thought she had escaped somehow. Nope. Stupid little a**holes. She was the hen CC gave me to recondition into not being a murder quail and was doing so well.

Tomorrow they are getting a shitty cage thing I will build out of sketchy wood. Or the chop.
