Good news! Im going to pick up a 2 year old Sun Conure from a lady about an hour from me on Sunday. Apparently she used to breed them, but her husband got into a bad motorcycle accident last year and had to have his leg amputated. They stopped breeding the birds and they have one younger one...
Thanks for all the advice! I actually went down to a local pet shop yesturday and fell in LOVE with a sun conure. The girl who works there brings hers to work everyday in a little travel cage and because he has his wings clipped he really just hangs out on the perch most of the day but loves all...
I work in a seasonal business. I spend 70-80 hours a week from May - October in my store. From October - April I dont work and spend most of my time at home. I am interested in adopting an African Grey Parrot to have at work in the summer and home in the winter. I tried talking to one couple who...
An older gentlemen gave us his peacock and peahen late last summer. He is sick and couldnt take care of them anymore. After a few ridiculous attempts, we werent able to enclose them sucessfully, since they are full grown and very hard to catch. We fed and watered them this whole terrible winter...
I have a flock of production reds, barred rocks, and EE
None but ONE hardworking gal will brood. Does anyone know what breed has a greater tendency to brood? Im sick of incubating my own chicks!!!
Thank you guys for the responses. I dont have the means to give him a pen of his own, he is going to have to try and work it out with the chickens! Hopefully he will stick around... hes so pretty!
Hello, I just got a male peacock that was loose in my town. The owner didnt want it anymore. I have chickens already, I put the peacock in a dog kennel inside my chicken coop with some food and water. How long should I wait before I let it out with my chickens? Im nervous its going to fly away...

Hi all, I have a broody hen with many well developing eggs (ive been checking them!) Im concerned once they hatch, that the setup I have might not work out. My broody is in her nesting box which is about 3 1/2 feet off the ground in a row with 8 or 10 other boxes. The chickens have to climb up...
I have a 2 year old hen, I just noticed yesturday that she wasnt really walking around just kind of laying in the grass trying to eat the bread I was throwing out. Her comb is slouched over, very dark red and when I picked her up (very easily) I felt that her whole bottom end was bulging. I...
Good Morning!!! I just woke up to find my broody has two babies sitting under her with 1 or 2 more to go.
I have a large coop, run, and fenced in area for my chickens but pecking unmercifully has been an ongoing problem which sparked the fenced in area expansion.
I am afraid that my older...
I hate to have to do this, but I have to give up my 2 year old Bluetick Coonhound. We dont have a fenced in yard and we live on a busy road. It is just a matter of time before she gets hit by a car. I hate to have to tie her up or kennel her for the rest of her life but at this point I have no...
I have 18 1 year old chickens in my coop right now. A large run attached and a big fenced in area outside the run.
I have 3, 4 week old bantams I just started integrating with the big girls, they are seperated with chicken wire in the coop with their own small run outside. I plan on waiting a...
