I used to have a nanday conure (rehomed him) and a sun conure (died last fall at 23 years old).

Not a very good pic of Pasqually-sun conure- but best one I have on this computer.

Gorgeous colour!

Mine had pumpkin smash today , served it warm even the babies enjoyed it. Hubby was introduced to the anatone by a lovely vet at Werribee 2 years ago. She was camping next to them at Aus champs and had nasty leg injury with one of her horses, hubby helped her with some dressings and gave her some supplies. She so appreciated his new information on wound care that she gave him a 5 litre drum of anatone. Apparently she was the Australian rep . We have used it since at the first sign of trouble. It's only recently that I became aware of its use for other animals.

The game bird finisher is a little expensive but with your flock it would last a while. As with all chook food , just be sure to store it well and prevent moisture and sunlight from depleting the nutritional goodness in it.

Been dying to try the pumpkin smash - but there is no 15c/kg pumpkins up here.

Ours are 90c a kilo. An average sized jap /Kent is $2-$3.

I generally keep my bantams separate from my larger hens. Bidda my lavender Belgians is the smallest in size of any of my Belgians and she has no problems chasing the marans out of an area if she decides that's her space to range today. I think it depends on the attitude of each type. In saying that my Pekins have happily lived with my turkeys for years.

My Belgians chase my Marans' out of their space too (it could be the same one, I confess as their colour has developed I now can't tell too of them apart).

One even chases a bantam Australorp out of her way. 3 to 4 times her size and the Aussie has all the attitude and temperament of a standard size Aussie.

Can you post a pic of your door? I would live to see it.

I have a cockatiel. Saved it from the crows when it was a baby. It's name is Ink. My then 18month old named it.

This is not a great pic but this was while I was setting the door up. I had to do some cable tying of the wires that come in from the solar panel. Here you can see them hanging out the bottom. I had to do some minor coop mods to put the door in and then fill the gaps between the coop and the run, but that was relatively easy.
