If you've been following my posts, you'll know that I had a cockerel die after battling some illness. I got a preliminary report Wednesday, and then this one today. One thing that stands out is the "Overgrowth" of a certain bacteria. Could you guys look this over and tell me what you think? I'm...
This weekend's show is the Fancy Feathers Show in Anniston, AL. I love going to this show because it's family run. THey do a great job every year and always have new ideas for activities while judging is happening. I am particularly excited to be showing one of the pastels I hatched out this...
Awareness of avian bird flu, also known as avian influenza, is critical due to its potential impact on both poultry industries and public health. Avian influenza is caused by viruses that primarily affect birds but can occasionally infect humans, particularly those who have close contact with...
I have some Coturnix quail that I need to harvest. I'm trying not to get attached to them, so I need to do it soon. I thought it would be easier to do since I hunt deer and turkey, but there's something bothering me about raising them to butcher. I don't hold them, play with them, etc. to make...
I am diving into a much needed project. If you don't want to read the back story, just scroll down to the bold text :)
I breed and exhibit poultry and waterfowl. The catch is that I don't really have any land to keep my birds on. Technically I do have land, but it's about an hour and a half...
Currently I have 3 quails - all female. I have a 9 month and a 12month together. And right next to them another 12 month. (They are currently separated due to small fights but all play together all day. Don’t worry no one is left lonely 🙂). I’m wanting to get another quail - male or female - to...
This thread is for all caged birds and parrots!!!! I think there might already be one but it’s long dead and we were starting to hijack the dog thread so I figured I’d make a new one so we can continue the discussion here :lau
I used to have parakeets (budgies) but had to rehome them last year...
I’ve been noticing that as they grow, my turkeys caruncles and wattles are looking significantly different, they are all hens (as far as I know) and the only one I have doubts about is my big gray one (Golden Narraganset I believe) she has very large wattle and caruncles, just wanted to confirm...

I have a Turkey hen who is supposedly a Sweetgrass X Standard bronze, but I have reason to believe her mother was actually a midget white, from the photos of her mother and siblings. I am just curious as to what she is. I can’t find any pictures that look like her, she has white wing stripes...
Hello all,
A while ago, my chickens and other poultry were being harassed by members of the canine group, and on three occasions I had come to find my birds in the drooling mouth of a dog and after chasing and rescuing my chicken from fate, I could clearly see they were in a shock. This is...

Out on our usual early morning stroll, me and my ducks came across this mystery!! I know it’s not one of my little quackers because the prints weren’t there last night and my duckies sleep in my room 😆. Any clues? We are stumped 🤔 could it be Santa already?! 🤣
Hello it's been a while since I've posted so I felt I should, especially since there's pretty much nothing going on except school. So yeah here's some art, I'll tell you about the characters as well.
Cake, the first caticorn in my book series to exist. She is a mary sue and she claims it's her...
Hi. My mother and I just adopted a baby peacock today and I noticed tiny white bugs all over it’s face. They’re very small and go near the eye. They’ll burrow into the fur and leave tiny white particles (what I think might be eggs) on the strange of fur. I’m super concerned. I’ve done some...
