feeding birds

[pappabear 128]

hi all just after some advice when it comes to feeding birds , do you just put them in whole or should they be plucked and cleaned out the reason im asking is i breed serama and plan to feed surplus cockerels to the ferrets when they are culled at around 6 wks old thanks in advance for any replies

just chuck them in mate the way they are

chuck them in whole the ferrets will do the rest and the feathers make a nice soft warm bed for them :-)

Did not realise there were other Serama keepers on here

When i give my surplus to the ferrets i neck them immediately to putting them in the run, that way the ferrets think they are catching and killing the bird as it jumps about
