    Ever shipped poultry?

    I have shipped birds and had birds shipped to me. I just wanted to see what people on here have experienced compared to the breeders on facebook.

    A Dream Job of Mine...

    Edit to add: I can also transport poultry equipment, like orders from Rogier Poultry Supplies. I want to start a transport business. As a transporter, I would basically transport birds and/or small animals for breeders and buyers. A lot of people prefer transporters over shipping for a few...

    Questions about quails (and other birds)

    Hello. I would like to have some advice, opinions, or whatever about small birds specifically - mainly about QUAILS... ...In order to try to get rid of my allergies, I plan to buy quails - probably Japanese Quails : I have severe allergies, and I am kind of really desperate to get rid of them...

    My covey thread.

    I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but I’ve seen flick threads a bunch so I thought I should make one for my quail this will be where I post updates on my birds. When I get new birds sell birds or hatching and also just post pictures also can double as a place for chatting.

    Birds to be remembered

    Hey all, I’m sure we have all gone through the pain of losing a beloved bird. I created this thread in memory of my BO hen named Camacho. She passed 2 years ago today. She truly was quirky, and had the sweetest personality I’ve ever seen in a chicken. She was sneaky, and always managed to sneak...

    Inside Aviary

    So I'm thinking about building this Aviary, but I'm wondering if I'd need an inside one for them? During winter it can get between 27 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Would I need an inside enclosure for them or just put out small shelthers for them inside the aviary? (Picture isnt mine, but this is...

    What animal could use this?

    So I've recently found this dog kennel (picture isn't mine) and I think it's pretty big and maybe could be used for other birds? I'm thinking maybe a trio of Japanese quails or just a brooding area for birds? If anyone comes up with what I can use this for I'd really appreciate it!! :love

    Evacuating with Birds

    We always hope the worst doesn’t come, but hoping doesn’t prevent disaster. In our ever more volatile world all you can do is try to stay one step ahead by preparing and knowing what to expect should the worst happen. Evacuating is hard even if it’s just you and your immediate family, but it...

    A way to induce vomiting in geese

    Just a tip for goose owners out there. FORCING A BIRD TO REGURGITATE IS RISKY AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO ASPIRATE! But If you can’t get them to a vet and if you need to do it in an emergency..... Method 1. Pick the goose up, hold them as far upside down as you can with one arm. Use your free...
