    Sour Crop? Pendulous Crop?

    I have a hen, Mars, who had a swollen crop yesterday and still has it today. I just separated her to make sure I could withhold food, but she'd obviously rather be with her gal pals. I want to help her as quick as possible! She is acting completely normal, eating/drinking/laid an egg yesterday...

    Start of Angel Wing?

    I don’t know if it’s just the feathers growing a weird way or the start of Angel wing? It’s on both sides. They eat Kalmbach Duck and goose food at 18% protein but I mix it with raw oats to get it down to around 16.

    Will quails eat poisonous plants in a large enclosure?

    Ok so I plan to put quite a few quails on an all enclosed garden of mine. It's basically an aviary, but without birds. I've heard that parsley, eggplant, and onion is poisonous for quails, but I've also heard that they won't eat the plants if they aren't starving. The plants are in separate...

    Angel wing?

    First time duck owner and a couple of my ducks developed a wing/wings that stick out. First we thought it was just the weight of all the incoming feathers. Thought it couldn't be angel wing as when they would spread their wings out (flapping them) wing looked normal. Diet info: Fed duckling...
