Hi, and first let me say thank you for taking in those sweet babies. I too do rescue.... and have come across many in this condition, and worse. At first glance I would say they look fairly healthy considering the condition you said they came from. As for how you are keeping them, that is fine...
Hi and welcome. Thank you for taking in those poor birds. The living conditions you have them in is perfect, for now. Like others have said...worm them, de-lice them, and feed them a high protein diet. You can supplement their diet with hard boiled eggs, dry cat food, and any meat scraps you...
This little guy came into our rescue yesterday. He was an owner surrender. The previous owner is moving and can not take him along. Anyone know his breed? I would love to get this little guy a few hens...I LOVE his coloring!
These little Bantams were brought to our rescue today...I have no idea the breed, but they are SUPER small, a LOT smaller than my Bantam Cochin's Anyone know the breed? Golden Cuckoo D'anvers??
Are you sure your birds need worming? We do not use chemicals here on our farm, and have had GREAT success with DE, and pumpkins, ( when available) Just my opinion, :)

So, this is our page. We rescue farm animals...so far only poultry and Bunnies. Several wonderfull people on BYC have given these rescues great forever homes. This last summer DH and I worked on our new coop. It is 12 x 30...has 4 seperate pens inside, with a storage closet...
Dr. Todd :
You need to get the swan on water. Mute swans are one of the more aquatic species of swan and they are very prone to foot issues (bumblefoot being a major one) if they are kept off the water. They weren't designed to walk around, hence the bird sitting down a lot.
Thanks Dr. Todd...
OK, SO I was able to get a few pics of him/her this evening. S/he wouldn't stand up for a picture, I am guessing because its scared. SO, I am thinking because of the coloring, either a young one, or mixed???
