So, I'm trying to compile some information for butchering a wide variety of poultry. There isn't much in the way of information online to be found.
I realize that butchering a chicken that is over 6 months, or so, old makes it a tough meat. I am wondering how age affects geese, ducks, quail...
I have jumbo coturnix quail, red golden pheasants, and mandarin ducks. They are currently separate except the ducks and pheasants. I am wanting to explore possible options I have...
Has anyone ever housed Mandarins, red goldens, and quail together? How did it work out? Any thoughts?
I have recently uncovered a swindler in the business of selling poultry, rabbits, and guinea pigs.

I started contact with Benedict earlier this year looking for cheap goslings to raise for the freezer. He could not help me, but kept in contact asking if I'd buy from...
They are in a very large tote, there aren't many. They have mixed wood shavings (no cedar or black walnut). They get heims complete game bird starter 30% protein. Their water is about 8 inches away from the light. I am using a 100 watt bulb, it is almost too hot. The hen became sick yesterday...
I have a yellow golden pheasant hen. She is just under 2 years old. She started acting drunk yesterday and jerky movement. She also just sits and hangs her head shaking it slightly side to side. What is this, and what do I do? All my pheasant babies live 1 to 3 weeks and do the same...
I'm sorry everyone, my phone doesn't show me notifications for some things. I had also logged in a few times, but just today got the notification anyone has been responding to this post. Me BEIs are bigger than my khaki campbells now. They are also shimmering purple, not green. I believe they...
We bought these "East Indies Black Ducklungs" for my daughter to show in 4H. I found an awesome deal through a relatively local farm store. I was assured they were sexed and the breed we wanted. We picked them up 3-2-2018. They have grown at an alarming rate. Considering these are supposed to be...
There has been zero improvement in 11 days. She has been in my basement with lots of food the whole time. I am running out of the small amount of tylan I had. Isn't crd incurable? And won't I have to keep her separate for her whole life if she has it?
I have a less than one year old Cochin. She had started to... cough? It was like she was gagging and trying to cough/puke something out by force. She stretched her neck out as she shook her head and made a drawn out coughing sound (lasted about 1-2 seconds). Her eyes also were a bit puffy and...
Her skin has always looked like that, or close to it.
She may be getting picked on, but would there be scars, broken feathers, or blood? This is like the feathers just disappeared. Smooth skin.
My silky hen is just under a year old. She is going bald. She also has been sitting in the same corner for the most part. Any ideas what is going on? I realize she may be bloody, sitting in the same corner. She acts normal otherwise.
