Re: Greetings!

Hi and welcome 8) please research keeping more than one breeding pair together before you try to do it. I really dont recomend doing it, I lost a male because the other 3 (2 hens 1 cock) ganged up on him and beat the crap out of him.

Re: temperature

This isnt good advice you have been given :evil: you will need to have a special box with a section that has a cooler end and then the heat source at the other end. The baby needs to be able to move to whichever end it needs, if its too warm in one end the chick can move to the cooler section. I wou...

Hi and welcome. I wouldnt reccomend having 2 males and 1 female in the same cage, the 2 boys will fight for the female and it wont be pretty because the female may join in on trying to kill the weaker one.

Re: talking

you will probably both find that they are practising their talking when no one is around. Its not a spontaneous thing that they can just all of a sudden say things it takes them a lot of practise and by the time you actually hear what they are saying they have been saying it to themselves for awhile.

Re: how to train?? it dosen't eat treats!!

It takes time and patience. it might help to take them seperately to another room where they arent so comfortable and then they will rely on you more.
They need to feel that they can trust you so you will need to get the trust first.
