Oh gosh, so sorry

My Marilyn broke a foot feather today. She'd been picking on it, then I realized she got most of the feather out. I finished the job and cleaned and patched it up for her. What I thought was interesting is I'm pretty certain she was purposely working on getting the feather plucked out, which is exactly what they say we should do. So these birds know first aid apparently?

Cluck it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were smart enough to know that. Everyday it amazes me how much Toria seems to understand.

I have not found him anywhere!!! I am getting really worried!!!!!!

I fear he might've been taken by something

Oh no, that is terrible. I am so sorry. I hope if he got chicken-napped it was quick and painless! <3!

I do, too. My cat was chasing some baby birds that had just left the nest and I think he might have chased him back up in the woods. Just hoping he got lost and its taken him a few days to get back home.

Guys, I am so nervous! For the past week or so the baby sultans have been out with the big kids and doing pretty good. First few days were rough but they are doing pretty well now. I JUST moved my last (and final, lol) batch of polish out to the coop and I am freaking out. I hope they will be okay overnight. They have their light and a sectioned off grow pen, but the big polish have decided to suddenly take up roosting on the edges. Lol. I know it's not sultan news, but I rarely post in the polish thread.

Any news on your baby, Jharper?

Are you worried that the older birds will attack? Are they polish? or are you worried about predators?

If they all went to bed together, they should be fine over night They won't peck each other at night, I think!
