    Hurt Pigeon?

    Unfortunately it is quite cold and we've been having rain, but I've kept her fairly warm and very dry. Problem is, I opened the door to let her fly out if she was feeling better, took a while but eventually she hopped out. She tried to fly and I immediately saw what was wrong, she has a broken...

    Hurt Pigeon?

    Thank you so much for this! Everyone else in my household told me to just let it die and that a vet or whatever would just kill it cuz no one cares about pigeons but they're such lovely birds. I haven't touched it, used a towel to catch it just in case she was sick or like you said, had lice. I...

    Hurt Pigeon?

    I found a pigeon in my driveway and it didn't seem okay, I couldn't tell if it was injured or if it was just exhausted so I've put them in a kennel until I can figure out what to do with them. I didn't want to just let them die or get eaten by the neighborhood cats, and I have no idea how to...

    Head Injury

    One of our dogs let the birds out and my most skittish bird escaped into someone else's yard. I got her back after a lot of trouble and exploring three backyards but she hurt her head. I don't know how, but it's stopped bleeding and this was the best picture I could get, what should I do? I...

    Hen going roo?

    I recently got rid of my rooster and I've started noticing my hen Stella acting weird. She started trying to crow, she tries to mate with the other hens, and shes started sounding more and more like a roo. I've been getting eggs from her, shes the only one who lays brown eggs so it's easy to...

    I hate that your right, I was just hoping there was even a slight chance of keeping them. Thank you for laying it all out like that.

    Moving

    Uh, 4 of them I don't know as they were from a friends mixed flock but I have a black star who I know will be fine but I also have 4 Easter eggers, 4 blue australorps, and a Onagadori rooster. The only one who's built for cold is my black star.

    Over preening?

    I thought that but she's the only one who has this issue and I haven't seen any bugs when checking her out. Her skin doesn't look irritated or damaged, just featherless. I noticed a spot on her chest to, but no damage or signs of skin discomfort

    Nightshade

    Ive been wanting to free range my flock more but a nightshade native to where I live has been spreading like wildfire and I can't seem to get rid of it. I know it's not quite a raccoon or mite issue but these things are m6 pests! I can't get rid of them! I have ripped from the root, I have dug...

    Over preening?

    One of my hens went blind in one eye a while back now and she's adjusted as well as a half blind hen can but on her blind side by her tail feathers is a patch of under fluff but the rest of the feathers in that patch are gone. I thought it was my aggressive roo at first but he's been gone for...
