cage cleaning routine

[veggiecanner]

Is it going to cause my birds to stop laying if I take them and put them in a clean cage?
I have extras that are clean that are on a different wall in the same room of the shed.
If it is I want to schedual cleanings during times when I am not collecting for incubation.

I don't think so. It is more the entire location of their environment that causes the stress...new surroundings, new people, more human or dog traffic... If this cage is nearly the same as their home now, in the same place and nothing much changes, then it should not effect anything.

thanks, I have never seen any thing poop so much.

I Clean Mine Once-Twice A Week,And I Think Some Of Them Seem ToLike It....They Will Crowd Around The Hose Like They Are At The Beach. It Hasn't Seemed To Affect Their Laying.

I bet they love the hose. I am working on making a bird bath for mine for this summer.
