pjc Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I take it you are refering to feathered fancy breeds! If your birds are breaking foot feathers on wire or the loft wall etc then you need to keep them quieter, they must be wild! if your birds are calm they should just sit on there perches which will illiminate damage, also give them poles to perch on.

pjc Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 make sure the battens are big enough otherwise you can get dents in the keels when the birds roost on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Girl Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The judge at our county fair always suggests using deep wood shavings on the floor, and "wide" perches, so their feet aren't clenched so tightly that the deathers are damaged.
