I usually get my carefresh at Petsmart or Petco. I get the natural one just because I worry about the dyes and or bleach used to make the others.

I had a couple vaulted birds that were fine, however, I had one that was quieter and picked on more then the others and she couldn't get over the damage to her brain after being pecked in the head so it's a risk

Oh well that might mean she will have to be seperated (with a buddy) cause we also got some Production Reds and from what I hear, they can be quite bossy. If they peck her too hard on her head, she could die couldn't she?

What is wrong with this guy as far as feathering and the head goes. I recently sold but I thinkm Ishould have sold the one i kept. The roo i kept is a page 1465.

This boy seems a bit better. Less hard feathers in the tail and better coloring but he has several faults that would not make him breed quality - red comb, light skin, light eyes, and small crest. I am just a novice but I'm beginning to understand how difficult it is to get a good roo.

X2... really red comb and wattles. He has no crest to speak of. My little cockerel has a crest that can rival a pullets in fullness and density! It should be nice and full and large. I wouldn't breed this one.

I like it because if they eat it, it will pass thru them with no problems.
I use it in my parrot nestboxes.

OMG! Stoo ... do you raise parrots?????

Eclectus. I have 2 babies I have to pull from mama this weekend. I think a boy and a girl, can't tell yet, only peach fuzz.

Hello! Any silkie people in the South Sound area of Washington state? I'd really like to buy a couple hens for brooding purposes; so they needn't be show quality as they will n ot be used for breeding. May I mention that I am desperate? : ) Thanks,
Diane
