Subject: Help, Jumpers!~!~

Oh my, two nites in a row, I had buttons in the bed...these new ones are real Jumpers..!~!~!LOLOL....When I picked them up there were 22 buttons in a 24x18/12 cage..these guys were jammed...Now they are running around free range...they are jumping, running, crowing, eating..man o man...what a nut house...

Several of these came with no feathers on their backs, looks like both males and females..prob from being in such close quarters, is there anything I can do for them to help them get the feathers back..

when they came in, I did wash each one, and checked for mites, none..they were dried and put by the gravel/dust bath, which they enjoyed...I also put some bag balm on a few that had some injuries..also from mating and fighting..

Some of these birds look like refugees, I think they are skinny...I bought 2,000 meal worms today and tried to give each one around 4, I think this will help bulk them up...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No eggs today, maybe tomorrow
