So this is a quail I'm taking in from my friend who breeds quail and she has tried splinting this leg and doing different things to help it straighten out and she couldnt afford $500 vet bill where she is - so I'm taking this girl in. Shes absolutely gorgeous and VERY fast and doesnt seem to be...
She was completely fine last night when i put her up for bed and today it looks like her beak was TORN?
Shes still eating and drinking just like usual but what do i do???

This is Thumbus.
I raised her from the moment she hatched.

I've become very interested in raising and breeding pheasants due to me helping care for 12 ish pheasants (yellow golden, red golden, silver and lady amherst)
I think theyre really cool and have done some research on specifically babies, since I know how to deal with adults.
Anyone here have...
My soon to be ex boyfriend's stepdad is abusing over 30 roosters. He puts them in tiny pens without food or water and lets them rot. I've been holding my tongue for so long. Every single one has bugs, one of his seramas as such bad leg mites its legs are almost 3x the size its supposed to be...
I thought my baby girl Thumbus was a girl for so long, but as shes approaching 4 months old in less than 2 weeks her face got really red and her comb is growing. Is this normal?? Shes still tiny compared to the rooster I have when he was her age (they are 1 month apart)
Third pic is my serama...
My 2 year old Sebright Roo, Beamer, has been crowing nonstop since I got him 3 weeks ago and over time has lost his crow. He can still talk, coo, and whatever but his crow is muffled and raspy. He doesnt show any signs of sickness, he still eats and drinks phenomenally (hes a fat pig) and he...

I just got 2 royal palm turkeys!!
They're around 1 week old and are so cuddly and clumsy, is there anything I should know about raising turkeys? It's my first time.
I don't plan on breeding them together since they're related so I'm hoping for two girls so I can just buy them a tom...
I bought 5 baby "buff" orpingtons almost 2 months ago, 2 of which died almost instantly. 1 of the 3 that were left was actually buff but another one is completely baffling me, the more he feathers out the more I think hes jubilee but I'm not sure. I'd like some opinions so I can figure out what...
I recently bought around 10 silkie chicks from a breeder.. but none are pure silkie as promised, and I'm trying to figure out what my favorite one could be mixed with.
Her/His name is Norm and its a pure white "silkie" with blue skin and feet & black eyes. The only issue is the smooth feathers...
