***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[sshavney]

Well, at first at that this cutie pie came from one of the bantam ameraucanas that I got from Banjoejoe, however she seems to be bigger than the other bantams and they are all black...lol
Included with this hatch was 24 black copper marans eggs, 2 blue orpington (that DID NOT hatch) and 2 australorp/blue orpington mix eggs that I thought did not hatch (no I didn't mark the eggs and should have). Her feathers that are coming in are blue. She is the "white" sheep of the family..lol (her feet are 2 different colors also)

what i do with my special needs birds is to bathe them frequently and take a toothbrush or fingers and just work through their feathers pretty regularly, i find the neck and head is real imprortant to the ones i have- a couple silky boys that have eye issues, so i watch them real careful- hope that helps

I have no experience w/ your issue, but wanted to say

from Henryetta and

and the Okie thread.

Robin has excellent advice on the cross-beaked bird. About all that I can add is to use feeders and waterers that are deeper then standard so it can eat/drink more easily.
