I have just gotten a flock of 6 silkies. Four hens and two roos. Two of the hens and the roos came from the same place, so I assumed thy all knew each other and would get along. But 5 days in, the roos have started fighting. do I have to get rid of one of them or is there a way to manage this...
I have my first young turkey. Right now it is living indoors in a rabbit hutch. When it gets moved outside, does it need a coup just like chickens. What kind of housing do turkeys need?
I have a yearling peacock and a yearling peahen. They are in a large pen and seem to be doing well. But the peacock is losing his train. It seems a bit early for him to be molting. Should I be worried?
I went out to feed the yearling couple I have living out in my pen. There were about 15 of the male's tail feathers scattered around. I've never seen that before. Was there a predator or is he molting? What can cause the loss if feathers?
