    My chick has a numb tongue? HELP!

    My 3-4 month old chick was beaten up badly yesterday after her siblings attacked her and pecked him badly around the head and neck. Her wounds are VERY bad and she has been pretty weak so we’ve been feeding her some food mixed with water. While feeding her, we noticed that her tongue kept...

    Winter advice?

From everything i've read so far birds are pretty hardy and if you don't give them heat they will acclimatize to the cold. We live in Poland (think climate like Canada), but our city is a bit of a microclimate and...
