January with your Rollers |
Thursday, 02 November 2006 |
By the time the show season closes in early January, you will have selected your breeders for this year. If your planning includes the acquisition of new stock, it is wise to acquire it as early as possible. They will then have adequate time to get used to your handling and feeding. As a result, they will go into the breeding cages well adjusted and ready for their duty as parents. You must provide the best possible food available for them at all times; frequently changed water, and providing a bath on warm, sunny days. Preferably, these should be provided in the early morning so the birds' feathers will be perfectly dry when they go to roost at sundown. When changing their drinking water, it is essential the vessels be brushed clean daily, and frequently washed in detergent and very hot water. |
