    New dove and need care info.

    A friend gave me a male ringneck dove along with two cockatiels, a snake and a gecko. I am new to doves and could use some care info. The dove was kept indoors but I want to put all of my birds outside so I was wondering if it could be housed with my two pigeon pairs in a 7' wide x 7' tall x 15'...

    Six Roosters in Phelan California

    We bought 7 chicks that were supposed to be hens and they all turned out to be roosters. We were going to eat them but they are only about 5 months old and are bullying our 3 hens so we need them gone. Right now they are loose in our yard but we are worried that the stray dogs will get them...

    Sexing 3 month olds

    The feed store said that these would all be hens but after my other hens turned out to be roos I want to double check on these. I think that the brown Leghorn is a female for sure but am not sure on the Light Brahma or the unknown breed. They are 3 months old.

    I Need Sexing And Breed Help

    I was told that my chicks would all be hens but I am pretty sure that they are all roosters. Both of the White Leghorns, one of the Barred Rocks & the EE/ameraucana have been crowing but I am hoping that my RIRs are hens even though they look like roosters to me. This is them at about 3 months...

    Boy or girl?

    I was told that all of my chicks were hens but I am starting to think that one of my two white leghorns is a male since it is twice the size of the other one. It is 3 weeks old. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o172/Rattie_2007/Birds/103_2871_zpsf3be93f3.jpg...

    Abandoned Chick

    My Pigeon pair have a 3 week old chick and they just laid another egg and seem to have stopped taking care of their other chick. It's crop is empty and it is trying to get me to feed it. Should I pull it and hand feed? If I do need to pull it will it need supplemental heat? It seems to be almost...

    Ants killed baby pigeon

    I currently have my pigeons in the house until their coop is built and the ants killed one of my 2 week old babies and were working on the other one and going after the parents. I sprinkled DE around the cage but I think it will be blown away when the birds fly around so any ideas on keeping the...

    Is this grit good for chickens? Also a question on treats.

    I had my mom pick up some grit for my Pigeons but she thought that I wanted grit for my Cockatiel but I don't give my Cockatiel grit so I have a bag of grit that I can't use. It has the regular small bird grit with oyster shell, red pigeon grit and charcoal mixed in. Would this be ok to give my...

    Bedding question

    My chicks are on paper towels right now but they get messy really fast so I was thinking about using wood stove pellets as bedding. I have tons of the wood stove pellets because I use them as bedding for my rodents and for my rabbit's litterbox.

    New from California

    I got my first chicken about 7 years ago. He was a big rooster that showed up at our house and would not leave but he would attack everyone including people just walking past our yard so my dad gave him to his coworker. We just inherited a house on enough land to raise a few animals. My mom...

    What breed and sex are these?

    I found Sputnik in front of Petco. Me and my brother were able to corner it and grab it and I could not find it's owner, animal control would not take it and referred me to a wildlife person but they would not take it because it is a pet and no one would take it when I tried to give it away so I...
