If he treats them like rats what does he expect.
They should be paired one to one and the chicks left for two parents to rear if he won't feed them properly.

Brandon, I really feel the need to tell you to BE CAREFUL ! It's painfully obvious that this new bird has come from a person that doesn't properly care for the birds and not adiquetly quarantining will possibly bring in disease into your fast growing flock. I have all the resources available to me that I could possibly need or want and still find it very hard to implement the nessesary precautions to keep my flock safe when a newby comes in. Reread what michael went through when he brought Santina into his flock and the year he spent trying to heal his birds just to end up having to rehome santina. keeping the bird in a separate room is not at all the only thing to it , especially now that you have a baby to feed. Washing everytime you handled the new bird and changing clothes , keeping feeding tool sanitized after every feeding and separate from other bird stuff. Vet cost for blood panel to see if it can be introduced into the flock and still that is by no means a guarantee. BW

The babies things are in the kitchen and my birds things are in my bedroom, I wash my hands before touching the babies food and after washing up and the baby is in my Mams room in a brooder.My step dad fed him at 7 am I'm glad I didn't have to wake up and do it lol.I don't know how anyone could handle a whole clutch.

Just be careful, it's heart breaking when you are responsible for protecting your flock and fail ! Packing around guilt isn't much fun. BW

Just as an FYI, eggfood is not that bad for baby birds, it is what the parents would have fed him (not that I approve of feeding them eggs, mind you!). I don't like handfeeding formulas because they are all made out of soy which is real bad for animals...

Would Topps parrot pellets soaked in warm water to mosh it down make a good feed for a fledged youngster as that is soy free.

Oh I didn't know that I was told they wouldn't get all their nutrients and I thought he would only be eating protein all the time.

Its usually just listed as soy or soybean.

I have looked up Kaytee handrearing that we used to use and that has soy in it.

What make of handrearing mix is it you are using. It would be useful to know one that does not have soy in for future reference.
