    Pinioning Quail?

    The roof is about three feet. I was wondering if pinioning would prevent this. Any thoughts?

    Pinioning Quail?

    I have a secure pen they could live in if it kept them from boinking.

    Pinioning Quail?

    Hello! I have a question for you all. This may be a stupid question, but does pinioning quail prevent them from boinking? I have considered trying this but I don’t want to go through the process unless it works. My concern is they still would be able to fly because the actual wing is used for...

    Turkey housing?

    I agree. Remember the humble wild turkey is native to North America. They can withstand quite cold temperatures, and are smaller than domestic turkeys. Just know they will try and roost in the trees like previously stated. Good luck and have fun!

    Feathers getting plucked out?

    I had a RIR hen missing ALL the feathers on her back, tail, and elbows. I applied petroleum jelly on the cold nights of winter, but she survived! I bet a hen is doing that. Once you get rid of the picker, it will get better. Hope this helps!

    New Flock Rescue Hens and Old Flock

    Remember, rescuing them wasn't for nothing even if they get eaten. If you provided them with everything they needed and are happy, you did everything anyone could ask for.

    Feathers getting plucked out?

    Yes, that is the down side to peepers. I kept mine in a fenced in area while the peepers were on. If you suspect roo damage, I've heard about hen saddles. If never made it used them, but from what I've read, they work! If I am wrong, please correct me.

    Feathers getting plucked out?

    I suffered a similar problem. In our case, we tried everything. If you have a persistent picker, there is no fixing the problem until you get rid of the pickers. One of the hens that was a picker was a bully even as a chick. If you have a bird like this, it might be the only solution. I would...

    Feeding mixed flock

    Sounds good! My ducks are just about 10 weeks anyway. I have three Muscovies, and they are extremely skittish. Any advice?

    Feeding mixed flock

    Do they always require niacin? I thought it was just when they were growing.

    Mystery chicken?

    Yes, I think this is an Easter egger. There is a large variety in the color of them, because they are crossbreeds.

    Feeding mixed flock

    Thanks! I think I will feed layer when the babies start clucking. I have my chickens on chick feed, and I have calcium available for my girls. I think this feed will work temporarily, until I run out and buy some better feed.

    My Lovely Lavenders!

    You have very pretty birds! They reminded me of my sweet Lavendula that I had to euthanize about a month ago. The poor girl had a knee injury that was not fixable. Would you consider selling some fertile eggs in the spring? Your birds made my day!
