    Can Ducks Turn Into Cannibalism?

    I am currently keeping 3 (1-month old) ducks in a cage with the size of 12.5"x 12.5". Is it possible that they can turn into cannibalism (which I doubt cause their beaks are not pointy like those of the chickens and pheasants)?

    Do Guinea Fowls Raise Their Tails When Mating

    I wonder if guinea fowls raise their tails when mating like chickens. I noticed that my silkie roo tried to mount my guinea hen a while ago. I don't know if mating was successful cause I didn't see my guinea hen raised her tails. It's like their tail feathers are always down.

    How would you know that a chicken had a Coryza before you introduce it to your flock?

    Hi! I would like to know how would you know that a chicken had a Coryza before you introduce them to your flock? Suppose that the chicken is new (or bought). Suppose that a chicken is old - you have it for a long time but you don't know that it experienced Coryza before. Thanks!
