Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so exciting. Was surprised when I went to check and there were 3 eggs in the box. Love it! It's like Christmas every day going out and seeing if someone new is laying.

Phillis my polish. Has two swollen feet. I touched them and puss and infection cam bursting out. Now she has two big holes on the bottom of her feet. What can I do to speed up her healing. I also noticed that her sister Dillis... I just got her a few days ago. her foot is a bit swollen. She has a red soar starting on the side of her foot. They both came like this.

Soak it in Epsom salt water

All of you polish experts out there -- could you take a look at these so called "ladies" and tell me what you think??

Thanks

how do you know if they are fertile?

To check for fertility you need to crack some eggs open and check them for the bullseye or doughnut.

Any time between 4 and 6 months old he should mature. This can vary though from bird to bird as they are all individual. Some are longer that 6 months.
