Sorted!!!!!!!well better news should I say its not WTO but a thorn which was just underneath the skin and started to swell hense the black dot in the middle of the groth, she had a full MOT while she was there found bumble foot on 1 toe not enough to worry about at the moment so the vet said but she has been put on a course of Marbocyl for 10 days just as back-up.
Tony do you keep a record of the eggs weight loss from being laid to pipping etc,
would be interested.
Another thing is what temperature and humidity do you run your incubator at and how much humidity do you put it up closer to the time they are ready the hatch.
It getting me in the mood to do some quail again
06 bird plastic top to bottom with about 4" from top on the front out of wind.
No droopy wing etc fine in herself flies ok.
Will by-pass to the vets this week anyway.
I did think that Chris but I cant see how, not damp in the mews, never put away wet, plastic up the front of the mews free-lofted and yes there was a heater it there as well
checked bird over today and found a growth like lump on her wing looks an oldish wound no redness not infected but it looks bigger than it is.
I thought it might be a thorn wound or something (3mm wide) no way she has been shot either still flys ok.
You want to know why because she is a woman
My female harris done the same last year about this time got quite scary footed me several times only in the mews though sat on the fist for about 3 hour every night no problem.
I think its hard work trying to find a decent pattern that is easy and knowing it is going to fit your bird taking your time adding pieces then finding out its to big or small
I dont think I will ever have the skill to sit down for hours on end making hoods. I would love to but no doubt they would end up the other side of the room
