Sunbird73 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 You could ring SPCA birdwing near you, google them for the numbers. They will put you in touch with your local bird lady who can tell you what to do for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver21 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 just had a chat to him, he said they need to be kept warm, and fed on chick starter with a little cat food. or he suggested that hes got a bantam that he can attach the chicks to so then the bantam does all the work for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 can be hard to attach strange chicks to a bantam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 he seems confident, he normally does it with his own phesants as apparantly the bantams make better parents, hes quite experienced and has a few various other rear species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
