Hi!
I currently have a breeding trio of Dorkings separated from the flock to, well, you know...... breed. Anyway I have 3 6 week old red phoenix that need to move from the brooder. They've been raised on medicated chick feed and I need to put them into a cage where they can consume pullet...
Hi I have a chick with splayed legs and I don't know how to fix them, I've tried a bit of string but she keeps kicking them off, her legs don't seem too bad but they're definitely off somehow.
Please help as I don't know what to do.
Hi,
My Cream legbar keeps having her eye closed, it's been like this for 24 hours and I don't know what to do, do I take her to the vet? Keep her in solitary? Eye drops? How on earth did she get this?
I'm really worried as I need to breed with her!
Please help ASAP!

Hi all, my chickens are not willing to lay in the nesting boxes and lay outside the run, is there parasites in the run? I'm keeping them inside their run for a week and if things don't improve then what can I do?

Hi all,
I have been searching the Internet for golden Phoenix fertile eggs, hatching eggs and of course fully grown Golden Phoenix, I am based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, Australia. If anyone, anyone has them for sale it would be much appreciated, as I need another for breeding purposes...
As most people who are familiar with the Phoenix know, they're not the best layers and breeding them is more than difficult. That's what I need a bit of help on, I want the stronger birds the ones that are very healthy, I have an incubator and a brooder and my eggs are incubating. But if I...
Well it's this time of year again in Australia, the time that Foxes become an even bigger problem. I just lost one of my Phoenix to one of these foxes and I'm afraid for all the rest.
