Aaww Thank you! I've been busy getting all my food and flower crops started, including mealworms! All the very best and look out for another film coming very shortly - 'Meet the Broodies'. Love from sunny Normandie, Sue xx

Perfect timing. My meal worms are not strictly organic but they need a cleaning out so I will incorporate a more natural environment in one of the containers. Nice video. Laura

Thank you for these videos! I ‘m so glad I found you

Hi Nathalie, You are so welcome and thank you for your kind words. I am experimenting at the moment with trying to raise a higher volume of meal worms, so am preparing an old, half-size, cast iron bath that used to be a friend's goats' drinking trough! I realised not only how valuable and rich a protein resource this was for my quail but also how many they could eat at one sitting. I am amazed that my 2 week-old chicks consume 4 to 6 full-sized meal worms and then after a short rest are ready for more. I am also thinking that I will try just raising the worms in leaf mould, as the cost of organic wheat bran to fill the bottom of a bath, even half-sized, would be pretty pricey. I did however notice that when I placed a small tray of bran inside my present boxes, which are usually half lines with leaves and moss and just a little bran, this tray was, after a few weeks, full of tiny worms. I concluded that the beetles do lay in this and I believe the baby worms do actually consume it, although the food value must be negligible - may be they like the taste? I will film this experiment and I do know of others who have raised meal worms in large quantities in black dustbins and in garden soil. Several of my beetles have escaped and I keep finding them or rather the quail do, as the boxes are in their greenhouse space, so they must feel at home in a non-grain environment. All the very best from Normandie, Sue

@@Pavlovafowl thank you and I hope you keep sharing! I am just starting to raise quail and I want to care for them as holistically as possible and so far all your videos and the way you treat them resonate with me. I have several autoimmune condition and I'm hoping happy quails will produce more healing eggs. I will continue to go through your past videos to learn as much as I can😍

Hello Sue!! I’ve been wondering how you’ve been doing across the pond over there. It’s crazy times we’re living in and I’ve been concentrating on stocking up on non perishables, freeze dried foods and I like to pressure can. I’m praying for you both!!

Hi there, I have a comprehensive two part written article on torticollis in birds and what I do to remedy it. The first part deals with identification and the initial treatment in particular with the often-ignored role stress plays in this condition this is the link: holistic-hen.blogspot.com/2020/01/wry-necktorticollis-what-is-it-initial.html#.XiBGsXfk-V4 The second part deals with the nutritional support and goes into detail about suitable foods and their individual virtues - here is the link to that one but you can also link to it via the first article: holistic-hen.blogspot.com/2020/01/wry-necktorticollis-part-2-nutritional.html#.XzrsRXcv6V4 Although you may be inclined just to look at just the second part of the article, I would suggest you do take a look at the first part as well because it is important to get an overall view of this condition and understand the root causes, so as to reassure yourself that your bird will make a full recovery and remain free from the condition afterwards. There is a link at the end of these articles to my Ko-fi page where you may support my site if you wish but essentially I write these articles freely to share ideas of what I have done when faced with problems in my own flock or other wild birds and hopefully these help. I am also well aware that when I started out with keeping poultry in 2000, there was so little information about holistic and natural ways of looking at bird health, so this is my attempt to help to fill that gap. With regard to specifics, I find that like hens and quail, mynahs are omnivorous, so my guess is, that like them the chicks will be fed by their parents almost exclusively on wild-caught protein or even apparently, as I have read, 'roadkill'. This is often where the problems start with torticolis in that many domestic or pet birds that are omnivorous are fed with a diet high in grains and seeds and these are deficient in many essential nutrients. In addition, the vitamins and minerals contained in ready-mixes are often synthetic, so the bird's body needs to convert these to their natural form and furthermore which is not a complete process, so the bird can be left with chemical residues. Hope this helps and do get back to me and tell me how your bird is doing. All the very best from Normandie, Sue
