Tony C Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Have you opened their beaks and looked down their throats ?
buster151 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Posted March 21, 2012 Have you opened their beaks and looked down their throats ?yes they are clean
Roland Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 still to many birds per section,12 birds enough per 8 x 6 section prob resp coming on youll need to treat and not easy to shift. 6 X4 16 pairs, bred and raised great youngsters etc. etc. Other side was just 12 pairs..... Like I say, how many pairs can one place in a tree? As long as air is fresh and circulating they are in their best elelment. They never go looking for space, in lofts or street.... Also if one does get a dose of the hibbery jibs, then the quicker it is through the lot and done the better. Over crowding is a myth and excuse for poor managerment and excuses relayed bu supposed names.
