CHAILI the pictures are GORGEOUS!!! I can't believe little Dan is 2 weeks old already....What is the name of the teeny-tiny fuzzy that you had so much trouble with at the beginning??? How is it doing?

Thanks,

That little fuzzy will be 4 weeks old on Monday. Small, and not quite as developed as a normal 4 week old, but alive, and well.

Nice pics Bill! Those pullets are looking good!

5gal or 55.... Honestly what do you do with all the fuzzy butts you hatch ... The only thing keeping me from hatching is rehoming them.. I can't keep all of them, is there a demand for them ? I mean what kind of luck do you have placing them?

the entire working surface im working on is the lid to that tank so 55gal as for rehoming them it isnt an issue when you breed good quality birds.... many of them i plan to keep to improve my line and line breed

Treat them for bugs and worms. Put them in a separate cage far away from other birds for at least a few weeks. Give them a bath or two. Watch them closely for signs of disease, and keep them away from your birds under 5 months old.

My last new ones, I used Frontline for bugs, and Cara gave them something for worms, ivermectin I think??? might have that name wrong....

just what chaili said.... biggest thing is to quarantine id say between 2 and 3 weeks to be safe
