I dont have other birds, except the rooster that is my neighbors' still comes around to visit her on the other side of the "quickie coop" i made. Hes more after free hand outs since he knows i will feed him. As for the momma, i just keep hearing these horror stories about when you keep the mom...
Im planning on it, because i heard that soon the mother hen will want to stop taking care of the babies, and i plan on putting her alone in the big coop and then once the babies are able to defend themselves just in case their mom is a little hen pecky, i plan on moving them into the big coop...
Hey everyone!

Hey guys! I have two american game fowl. And suddenly they are roosting on my front porch. Leaving poop all over it in their wake, scaring the cat, and just causing turmoil. I dont understand why they are doing this! They have a perfectly nice lovely coop they used to use it all the time, now...

UPDATE:
She is still in her crate, i went to check on her a bit ago and found that she is doing...alright...not much change that i can tell, she will open her eyes and occasionally stand up to sleep or lay down (not moving from the same place) she hasnt moved all night, i saw she has went to...
