Let's I cleaned out my old coop bedding (been sitting empty since girls moved to new one, so 2-3 months maybe?).. Dusted that nighte floor with DE, put new bedding down..

Do y'all think the 3&4 week olds will be okay in it with their light tonight? Respiratory wise?


I just did basically the same thing; I just ran into trouble with the rain. I say just keep an eye on the little nuggets so that you're sure they can get into the coop from the run on their own; the should be fine wise.
 
Thanks mrsdszoo :) Yes, for now they're locked up in the coop anyhow.. I'm afraid they're still small enough to fit through one or two of the gaps in the redneck run, so I'll still have to try and give them outside time in the kennel for now.
 
So I just "candled" the 5-gallon aquarium, and my baby betta fish are getting their colors! And boy are they beautiful! I think I found the one we're keeping, because it seems to be a solid royal blue. The main reason I bred them was to get the red colored bottom (pelvic) fins OUT of the mostly blue fish! I wanted a solid dark blue fish, with no red fins, no red gills, no red streaks, period. Just blue.

Although you can tell these two fish are commercially-bred, because both parents are blue, but it seems I also ended up with an iridescent green, other mixed shades of blue, and possibly a white one...

The mom appears to be mostly blue, just not as dark, and dad is a nice deep blue, with the two very thin red pelvic fins drooping down directly below his gills. Unfortunately, pelvic fins in a betta are very long, so it's easy to see. But neither fish has green or white on them. So their ability to produce those colors tells me they probably have a big jumble of colors in their lineage.


Oh, I might get mom of the year if I bring home a baby beta to the little zookeeper!! I would also love to see photos when you can :).

How about Capone for the little roo? Because that sure is one heck of a mug shot ;). You'd have to look up names of Capone girlfriends then.
