    Chick got its leg stuck under the fence and was in the sun all day.. Can't stand up

    I don't see that the leg is injured but he cannot stand. I gave him a drench of poultry vitamins and put a peach in and he ate some of it. What else can I do. I've given water via a syringe but I'm afraid he is going to die, he is a very valuable cockerel.

    Question about free ranging peafowl

    I have had my pair for almost four months now, I really want them to free range, should I clip wings? I believe they will stay close by the food but am still worried they will fly away. What do y'all think?

I can tell it is not comfortable for her but she is up a lot more than she was the first few days. She can get to food and water and I have a high grass run I can keep her...

    You know I have a story about these Diane, you're not going to believe it. When I contacted him about purchasing them I asked if the chicks were blue, he told me yes. You know I don't know how his pens are set up at this point, so i'm thinking he has a splash in there with a blue to get all...

    Please look at this pic of my goslings foot.

    She was hatched out with this crooked foot, I don't think it is splayed leg but I've never had anything hatch with any problems so I don't know. Anyone have any advice or should I put her down.
