Hello everyone. I was wandering if anyone who has indoor chickens has ever used a ferret nation cage as the coop? I realize I will need to adjust it a bit, add a roost and nest, etc. I want to have 2 or 3 silkies, raise them from day olds to adult all the while living inside. I will be...

Hello everyone! I have decided to move into an RV. I would love to have birds while I travel, but I am at a loss. I have bird cages and dog cages to use as the 'coops' inside the RV. Well heres my question, will it be safe to have both quail and small chickens in the RV together? They would be...

Hello Everyone! I was considering adding some Turkeys this year, but I had a few questions about housing. Can they be housed together with Ducks? I know they cant be housed with Chickens because of blackhead. Can they be housed with any other poultry (geese, guinea, quail). I would like to have...

Hi Everyone!! Well my girls are going to be 2wks soon so I wanted to be prepared to switch their food at 3wks. They are currently on a 27% waterfowl starter, I couldn't find anything else unmedicated so I had to order this.. The closest feed store had a Game Bird Chow at 12% so I bought that...
