So…. My birds are nuts. My quail are pretty chill but my chickens are insane.
My first crazy incident was when my barred rock hen got INSIDE my neighbors bread truck engine and rode across town. He kept her in the parking lot by feeding her bread and my dad brought her home in a box.

This is Leia. Her beak got too long (I should’ve trimmed it, it is just stressful for both of us to do it) and broke. The broken piece is still attached but it starts bleeding whenever she moves it around too much. She is trying to eat but is struggling. She is also bullied by the other chickens...
Hey Y’all! So I just ordered some eggs. Some may be full breeds, but there will be some hybrids. Some of the potential hybrids are : porcelain/Mille Fleur D’uccle, Buff/Partridge bantam Cochin, & Red Pyle/BB Red Old English Bantam. Any ideas or examples of what any of these could look like?
Open to any breed of bird as long as it has a cross-beak! Other funky beaks are also allowed.

I have a trio of 6 month old male button quail. I have had them on Turkey/quail starter. Should I change them to another feed? If so, what can I buy at TSC?
Hey everybody! I’m going to be documenting my gardening journey here! I usually get really hyped up about gardening and then end up quitting, so I thought this might help me. Right now I have a window of houseplants in my room (I also have more throughout the house but my mom takes care of...
I have a D’uccle rooster and 10 standard hens. I never see him mount the hens, but do think he still could be? He used to try, but I don’t know if he still does. I have never had a standard-bantam cross, but I know they’re possible. My hens range from a small Starlight Green Egger to a Buff...
I would like to get a quartet of laying female coturnix quail sometime this year. They would be for eggs/pets so I would like tuxedo or celadons. If anyone knows of any good breeders, that would also be helpful. TIA!
Is anyone in N.C. or S.C. selling adult button quail? I would like a laying-age female, but it’s not urgent. I would like a pied or tuxedo, but I’m not picky.
My hen Spot ( named by my 8 year old self ) is struggling a little. I could tell she had been slowing down, but I had a sudden urge ,at 11:45 PM, to check on the chickens. She was huddled in the corner instead of on the perches. I have filled out this template with her information:

I have filled out the following template with Gertie’s information:
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
She is a Prairie Bluebell Egger, she is 11 months old, and idk her weight but her chest bone feels kind of prominent
2)...
A little sparrow ,or other songbird, got it’s legs caught in my brother’s mouse trap. My mom found it and brought it in the house. I’ve filled out this template with its information. I have a lock-in tonight and won’t be around but my mom will. I don’t have much hope for the little guy but want...

I received a D’uccle with mild crossbeak (and weirdly, some missing toenails) from a friend.She was hatched sometime in February, but has yet to lay an egg.She is scared of my standard hens and mostly stays in the coop.I’m going to try to get some more bantams for her and my bantam roo.I know...
