Darfie and Timid Girl eggs has to be incubated.

I have transfer their 5eggs into incubator as i thought Timid is unfit to brood her eggs. She needed rest and restore her own nutrition level.

I think it was about 15th march, i saw timid came out of her nest box for food. Looks very bright to me but kinda over active!

So for birds, this is the first time i encounter. I was looking at Timid and wondering in my mind... This girl strike 4D ??? why so happy and jumping around?

Next i realise she couldn't grip the perch properly, now it explain why she so hyper. From what i know from dog breeding, some breeds like westie tend to suffer calcium deficiency during breast feeding. This can easily kill the bitch within 20mins! One of the tell tale sign is hyper active, salavation, helplessness, unable to calm down.

Immidiately i trick her into a small cage to prevent her going back into nest. From there i start giving her froglet with injected calcium and recover within hours. And thanks to my friend for his reassurance..
