    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    Injured Duck Wing

    My Khaki Campbell has a seemingly injured left wing. She keeps it mostly tucked in and cannot flap it. Right now an avian physician is not an option.
