Wet Feeders

[Guest geordiejen]

does anyone have concerns from wet nests?is this a health issue or does it bother anyone?im going to get a droppings test done from these wet droppings see if theres anything going on..

sometimes old birds feed a lot of water,

[greenlands]

I sometimes suspect canker,causing the old birds to drink too much and passing it on to the young birds,then again try giving them some Kilpatrick black minerals that might sort the prob.

i had this problem a few years ago and found out it was to much wheat in the mix put them on tic beans or maples and it made a big difference

Happened to me when I first started I wasn't leaving grub down all the time for them to feed there young so they pumped them full off water also i didnt have black minerals there sobit was my own mis management no health issues
