    Hurt Pigeon?

    I found a pigeon in my driveway and it didn't seem okay, I couldn't tell if it was injured or if it was just exhausted so I've put them in a kennel until I can figure out what to do with them. I didn't want to just let them die or get eaten by the neighborhood cats, and I have no idea how to...

    Hen going roo?

    I recently got rid of my rooster and I've started noticing my hen Stella acting weird. She started trying to crow, she tries to mate with the other hens, and shes started sounding more and more like a roo. I've been getting eggs from her, shes the only one who lays brown eggs so it's easy to...

    Over preening?

    Aggressive roo

    I have a roo I adore, he's a sweetie most of the time and isn't a huge bully like I've had other roos act like. He took the introduction of new hens quite well once we got rid of the two we didn't know were roosters. But Stella, who was introduced with the other hens, has been singled out and...

    Hen injured ear lobe

    So I recently merged my younger hens with my older ones and it's been going as expected for the most part except for my hen Stella. Stella was bought separate from all of them and is a different breed but we had only gotten one. She's the slightest bit bigger then the other hens and has two...

    Silkie confusion

    In my recent batch of chicks I decided to get a wider variety and got two silkie chickens. I've never had silkies before but I find them ridiculously adorable. The shop said they were gendered so the chances of me getting a rooster was low. Not impossible of course, I'm no fool. But, I figured...

    Chipped/split

    I don't think this is an emergency but I'm not sure what to do. This is my nearly 3 month old hen stella, she recently chipped her beak and I didn't think it was a big deal cuz it was small and she could eat, wasn't in any pain or discomfort. But then it split like this and I'm no longer sure...
