    Birds nesting in coop

    A pair of starlings decided to raise their babies in my coop..could this be a problem? I know how messy bird nests can be, I don't want to expose my chicks to possible parasites. Thoughts?

    I'm a newbie -- Any help identifying these chick breeds?

    I think the first might be a red star (sex linked) and the second might be an Easter Egger. Does it have fluffy cheeks?

    please help me

    The second looks like a OEGB, and the last looks like a white Silkie.

    General question about tail spread. A few of my pullets have well spread base feathers of their tail and tighter feathers towards the top of their spread. What should I be looking for in a cock bird (if anything) to correct that? Or should I cull and use the few I have without pinched by themselves

    Dislocated leg

    A friend of mine brought me a hen today, with what seems to be a dislocated hock joint. She has feeling and movement in her thigh, but below the hock her leg just hangs limp. She doesn't use it at all, and she couldn't move her toes to grasp my finger. I felt the joint, it isn't swollen but it...
