    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?
