Hello! I have a question for you all. This may be a stupid question, but does pinioning quail prevent them from boinking? I have considered trying this but I don’t want to go through the process unless it works. My concern is they still would be able to fly because the actual wing is used for...

Hey all! Half of my chickens are about laying age, and the other are about 8 weeks. I have a couple ducks to add in with the chickens. I was wondering if I could feed some duck grower that I have left from the ducks. I'll give a picture of the food content at the bottom. Thanks!

Hello, I have a pullet approaching laying age with a facial problem. I noticed it yesterday, and tried to drain it, but nothing came out.

Hello. I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with keeping a flock with a physically handicapped chicken. I have a lavender Orpington pullet who developed a knee injury last week. It isn't going away, and I want to know if she can long term...

Hello! I have a lovely Blue laced red Wyandotte. He is about 16 weeks old. It is the first Wyandotte I have raised, so I didn't know how to sex based on comb size. I have another roo who is the same age that has tail feathers and is crowing. Don't know if he's gonna spend winter in the coop or...
