well for my two pennies worth, if the kids had their way we would keep everything that decided to come into the yard sick or not. We have decided tho that the strong should stay and the weak shall go. But we are in the business/hobby to re populate our area with good strong healthy birds.
some think us cruel, oh well, I thump everything that comes out of the egg wrong. Just has to be that way. To those of you who go to all the trouble to keep them alive, "keep up the good work" and I wish you and your birds the best.
