Roland Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Nowt wrong with those birds... Remember also that it is thought that when shedding and replacing they have extra energy... like a woman having a baby gets a load... then does all the house work etc. which makes the labour harder ;D But many swear that it the best time to send... others feel that it's for the growing of the new feathers...

Merlin Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I dont use Buttermilk too often as it does push on the moult,but I use it more than most,when they get out to those last flights,there is a lot of discomfort and soreness,would watch closely the casting of these,well before and some days after,bird will let you know themselves with their reluctance to fly,a few days after each flight is cast,no probs,would imagne buttermilk constantly is responsible for double casting of some flights,swings and roundabouts springs to mind,but again lovely condition youngsters,watch closely the length of growing flight,All the Best.
