I took in a disabled chick a couple months ago. He had a slipped tendon that couldn’t be fixed. He can’t walk but he gets around by flinging himself with his good leg and flapping. We’ve tried slings, round donut beds, etc but he hadn’t tolerated anything. He’s the most comfortable making...

Can Muscovy be sexed by appearance at 7 weeks old? There’s a big size difference with these two. Their feet are the same size and they are feathering in at about the same rate. The larger one is more friendly and loves to come up to me.

Hello! My hen hatched and raised some babies that are about 5 or 6 weeks old now. They’re very independent and she isn’t calling them over much anymore. The hen started doing the egg song a couple days ago randomly. It’s a few times a day. She just stands in the middle of the yard and sings her...

I have two 3.5 month old BB White turkeys. I'm not sure what genders they are.. They both occasionally strut and I recently noticed them trying to mount each other or at least assert dominance. I have people saying they're ladies, but I don't know.
