    I have a pet Tom Turkey, he is a 3 year old Bourbon Red and one of 3 Toms which have been raised together.

    Rooster fighting my Hen?

    Hey, I have a 1 yr old Hen and a 6 month old Rooster. While in the coop they both started fighting. They had their neck feathers out and they were flying and clawing each other. I separated them for a bit, but the hen was bleeding from a scratch by her eye. Is this normal for a rooster? Will he...

    Constantly pecking at each other

    I introduced 4 new chicks to a flock of 3 hens earlier this spring. Initially, the hens were slow to accept the new chicks and would not let them in the coop at night. Being in a colder environment, I would manually place them in the coop at night to keep them out of the cold at night. As the...

    New to Chickens

    Hi, my name is David and I have 6 new pullets that are sexlinks. They have really grown and I think they are very close to egg laying. They were all hatched and raised together. They have been really tame and they get along with one another well. However, I have noticed that today a few of them...

    Help with coturnix quails?

    So I have two quails that I'm not 100% sure about the genders of. I've suspected that my oldest is male because of the noises he's making. (They're only 1 day apart lol). I'm not sure about the younger one but since its quieter and calmer we think it's probably a girl. However, the male has been...

    Ducks Fighting!!

    So my parents have two ducks at their house that recently started fighting. One of them was clearly more dominant and kept going after the other duck where he wouldn't fight back but just try to run away. We called someone and they told us we most likely have two male ducks and that is why they...

    young roosters fighting- no hens

    when should I break up a rooster fight/give up on trying to get them to get along? I have two brothers that were born in June. I have them in a separate pen from my other chickens because I had heard roosters usually will get along without any hens around, and they get along for the most part...

    Female Coturnix relentlessly pecking elderly male Coturnix

    I had my male Coturnix, Cuatro, inside for about 4 - 5 days to treat the burns on his feet from the poultry heating element. His feet are SO much better, so yesterday I returned him to the pen with his hens, (the heat element is now safely covered.) One of the hens relentlessly pecked his...

    Ducks fighting

    We have 4 ducks. I’m not sure how many are males/females. We got them March 2017 and they have been together since, never separated. They live in our pond. Due to the horrible below freezing weather, the pond has frozen and we brought them into the garage and put them in a pin. We only did this...

    My 5wk old roosters Are fighting!!

    So about 5 weeks ago my hen hatched 8 Wyandotte chicks. I went away on holiday for two weeks, so I had to keep all our normally free ranged hens and the chicks in the coupe together, and arranged for a few different people to come and check on them. A few days before I got back from my trip my...

    Two cockerels attacking each other. Covered in blood and mud. Missing feathers.

    These guys grew up together. They have together survived 2 fox attacks. They have been fighting each other for a while. They are half soaked and covered in mud, which makes me think they fell into the dam? They have this mad look in their eyes, and they had blood all over them. They were both...

    We have 3 12 week old roosters. 1 rooster attacked one of the others twice. Do we separate the attacker? Or do we keep him and find new homes for the other two? Looking for guidance.
