Droppings
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:56 pm
Just wondering what others thoughts are.
The last few days as the birds are exercising better, sitting eggs and looking well the droppings have changed. They have been quite good all winter but now they are even better in my opinion. I like to see the white tips to the droppings and the droppings not to dry as I think that shows a lack of protein. Now especially first thing in the morning the droppings are a good consistency and look snow covered. I don’t think I’ve seen them so white capped before. I also have quite a few small down feathers around. On handling them any fat accumulated over the winter months has gone. Things looking good. Eggs will be hatching next week.
