Well I don't know if I have done it right. But hopefully you can see the sore botty. Any thoughts, though it is getting better slowly, now I have her sleeping alone away from her feather plucking best friend. but it does still goe very red then goes ple again, cannot work out if there is a reason yet though .

Bless her! Although red, it doesn't look bruised or have any broken skin. I wouldn't worry about shades of red if it is even like that. One of my girls has a very bare botty, but on hers you can clearly see that it has been pecked as there are small scabs and bruises on it. Hopefully your girl will now grow some new feathers. If you think it may be sore, you can wash it with a solution of tea tree oil to soothe it.

Yup, mine look like that only a larger patch..... there was re growth on some of the girls but then they all came out again! They are having tuna as they spat out sardines, and have ordered some live meal worms

 

ANything else do you think?

[sandyhas3chucks]

You name it mine have it!

Moe gets the extra & bless her lays an egg about eery day perfect. best feathered on strike! had 4kg live mealworms loads of dry too. sleeps alone so can't be eaten and DEF no MIce

It is very sore looking this morning, but I think that Thornit might help nost just nowapart from that nappy rash cream. that cools it straight down for days! I just have a sleeping proble, 2 out, 2 in & in in separate bedrooms so no plucking!. working on it though. photos of Rablu conversion coming soon.

We are thinking maybe mice in the cube under the roosting bars but cant find any evidence too much poo, and also how do you get rid of them???

 

Not looking forward to the worms do you just give them a sprinkle a day?

[sandyhas3chucks]

well if you want to try & work out if it IS mice, I suggest you start by cleaning out the pooh tray thoroughly. try then lining it with ONLY paper, if you put hemcore auboise or anything in normally, then dont!

then every morning inspect that pooh tray! Mice will leave little black droppings like tiny weeny rugby balls. black, they may even nibble the paper. If you don't see either for a few days my guess would be NOT mice!
