Crossbeak Thread!

[The Coop Crew]

It’s no secret that crossbeaks have my heart
I have one named Dorothy and she is the absolute sweetest.
I hope maybe one day I can open a crossbeak rescue!
Let me see all of your crossbeaks! Share their stories as well please

Across beak sanctuary would be amazing.

I don't have any crossbeaks but I am definitely here to see other people's crossbeaks!

I plan on eventually starting to rescue chickens that have been mistreated. I have seen people selling some very pathetic looking chickens with missing beaks, terrible feathers, sickly looks, etc. so when I get my chicken area finished, I plan on starting to rescue some of them.

Don't have crossbeaks either but Dorothy is adorable
I hope you can make a cross-beak rescue someday!

I would love that so much! When we are able to move and have more land I think I’m going to do it!

I just came in from making mash for Dorothy and she is just so stinking cute. She follows me around and squawks at me until I pick her up. Then she jumped on my shoulder multiple times just to hang out. She also loves when my 6 year old holds her.
For reference on how sweet she is: I checked all of my other chickens feet and they all squawked like I was butchering them
I need more like my Dorothy. Lol
