I'll try this! I'll dig around the freezer and see if we have any peas. Yeah, I've fed rescued pigeons chicken feed before and it worked just fine, and since it's all I have on hand it's what I usually fall back on. I also happen to have some seeds I feed my conure as a treat. They don't...

Yesterday my brother found a black juvenile pigeon. They can't fly yet but seem to be just about fully-feathered, with a few yellow hairs on the head and chest left.

I need advice on this asap.. Our hen seems to be having some issues. She is believed to be a brahma, maybe 8 years.(Minimum? Not sure.) Seeing as we know that is fairly old for a chicken, we suspect she may be dying of old age, but we aren't sure. She won't move at all except for her head/neck...
