    Rooster Problem

    Two of mine got into it with each other, and I have the "loser" in an emergency coop. He is pretty bad off, I fear he might not make it. I have given him Rooster Booster (vitamins-liquid form) by mouth, anything else I should be doing?

    I have inherited a hen

    I came home from work last night and found a turkey hen sitting in the grass in front of my door. Now, it has been a few years since I raised turkeys. This is what she looks like. She is about the size of an adult rooster. She cannot stand. She has one leg that has a curled claw. I have...

    Problem-wandering gamebirds, annoyed neighbors

    She hatched in late November. At first we thought she had gotten a leg caught in the egg turner and was injured. One leg was OK. I have been keeping her in an aquarium with deep litter. At this time, she cannot walk at all. My question is, if I make a sling and put her legs in splints to...

    Low temps and tree roosting hens?

    Ok, I have some game birds that are fully feathered 6-8 mos old and that are in the habit of roosting in a small tree right next to the house. The temps are going into the low 30s tonight, with winds of 18mph. I can catch them and bring them in if need be. Since all my other chickens have been...

    Old English BBred game birds

    I think I have some. (Why do I feel like I am confessing something naughty? heh) My main flock is meat birds in a 20 X 70 pen. A neighbor gave us some of these birds, and I love them. They refuse to be penned, but will hop into it to lay their eggs (when they aren't walking in the house to lay...

    Hi from Georgia

    I just found this forum thanks to another member. I have been keeping chickens for several years, and am interested in learning all I can. I currently have some game birds, some buff, a RIR hen, and white rock hen. I'll post pics later.
