I extened the cage and planted it....... and have feed them the best stuff, wormed the sprouted seed daily, egg shell daily. Feash water on demand for them. Gave them a new seed hopper and made the aviary dry and clean and best of all mouse proof
see the aviary section for my post there

Cannot get over it

Last year was pretty good for me, got 20 chicks from 3 pairs in a real small avairy. Built a bigger one with three separate flights. Currently have one pair sitting on eggs in a revamped painteds nest but found two chicks dead in a nest box yesterday and a chick on the ground that I am attempting to hand raise. I think that I had an ant attack or the heat here yesterday (42C) may have killed them as the box is in the top closed in section and was really hot when I got in there for the rescue. Hope your year is good.
