I change the nest box pads whenever they get too badly soiled to bring a clean layer of pad to the surface, by pulling off the dirty stuff. In the hen house where some of the birds sleep in the nest boxes, that is about every other month. In the coop where the birds roost in places other than the nest boxes, they get changed out about every 3-4 months.

I had to turn on my heater!!! That just isn't right, it's too early.

I got several of the cages closed off from the wind but still able to adjust for the 80's next week. Fall break for the kids so I didn't have to get up as early this morning.

It sound slike you need a heated room... I am done washing birds until the end of Nov. in prep for Shawnee, thought about going to Prior to decided against it, just don't have enough birds in good feather and condition. I think the next two months will help me catch up.
If you were closer I would gladdly come help you out though. what colors are you trying to clean up? When is teh show? if its this weekend Don't wash them just dip in water and rinse well otherwise teh feathers will not come back together in time.

Yeah see I didn't wash because it was cold & I was lazy. I went out & everyone got the once over, beak trim & toe nail trim & decided that I only needed to do feet! Cochin girl will come in tonight to get her butt sprayed but that's all.

I need my building done. I should be getting the insulation this weekend so I can get started. What do they call the thin insulation silver on one side, white on the other, they put it between the stud walls & the metal on the outside?

I got one price on it but have decided that I can do better! LOL.
