Minkenry 1,044 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Have you had the vet check her mutes for internal parasites? Have you checked that her castings are normal and that she hasn't thrown up any meat? What do her mutes look like? Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Sounds like you need to get her mutes checked out, as Minkenry says sounds like she could have some parasites. Quote Link to post

Foxhole 22 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Some birds literally come out at flying weight or below. You think about it, they are not moving about so metabolism is low. The mistake many make is to lower the weight. Remember 'Conditioning' is much more important than weight Quote Link to post
