I have two three-week-old Baldhead Roller pigeon squabs. One is definitely a Blue Bar, but I don't know the color on the other one. The father pigeon was a Blue Bar and the female was a Blue Check. I'm looking for ideas on what color the unidentified squab is. This is the unidentified squab...

About 6 weeks ago, I noticed my 7-year-old Production Red hen, "Red", limping slightly. I looked at and felt her foot and leg and saw nothing wrong; she showed no sign of pain no matter where I touched her leg. I left her alone, thinking it was a mild sprain or strain. She was kept inside her...

I am new to pigeons and right now am feeding my two Baldhead Show Rollers a mixture of game bird grower feed (23% protein) and wild bird seed (8% protein). If the pigeons eat half of each type of feed, the average protein level would be 15.5%. I think they are eating more of the bird seed than...

A friend of mine has some Nubian goats, so I'd probably get Nubians or another full-size goat breed like Toggenburgs. I'm not...

I let one of my cockerels out today with the hens so that he could get some practice mating them, as I am going to breed them this fall, and he is a bit awkward and clumsy (he hasn't gotten the hang of jumping on top of them/holding on). He mated one of my pullets, and, in the process, injured...
