well......females lay eggs. Its actually not easy. Sometimes males have thicker necks than hens. They all coo and strut more.

For a feral any kind of seed mix will do (its probably more than he was eating in the wild). Maybe add a bag of lentils (found in the dry bean section at the grocery). If you tie or tape his wings together in the normal folded position in a few weeks you would be surprised how well he will heal...

They look nice. DO you know what breed they are?

I am going. It looks like I am going to bring home some american fantails.
