Urgent help needed
Hi there
I have just noticed that my breeding hen has blood in and around her one nostril. Her stools have also become blackish/green and a lot larger then usual. I don't know whether she scratched herself or what as here nails are pretty sharp and not worn down. What should I do???

Need info on caring for chicks
Hi There I am new here and glad I found this forum. I'll try keep it short. I rescued a male Indian ringneck from some kids trying to sell it at a traffic light. They had it wrapped in a blanket in the baking summer. I've had different birds in the past. So I took this bird in and got it a companion...
