Can you slow down alittle, when that aviary of yours is finished then we will have a look at filling it for you.
I will even have an experienced person to worm all the birds and have them ready for a new clean aviary.
There is no real hurry now for the season is just about finished,any eggs laid now means chicks will be trying to fledge in April and
by then the weather will have changed in your area. Another tip don't try and encourage your good birds to breed through the winter,sure you will get chicks on the perch but at what cost.Generally you will drop good breeding hens,especially the very ones you don't want to die.Then when the correct season arrives you are either short on breeding stock or your birds are too tired to breed when conditions are good.We all need to rush slowly.

OK thanks Orix, I'll slow down and settle in for the long cold period

Hey Ben this is my regime into holding cage Coccivet/spark 2 weeks later if all looks fine Avitrol plus clean bottom of cage 14 days later Avitrol plus again. 1 month later then weather dependant into aviary, the birds I bought at Gunnedah wont see an aviary until spring.
