Found a number that looks off in one of our guides? Wondering whether your brooder setup makes sense, or want us to cover a topic we have missed, like sexing quail at 4 weeks or keeping ducks through a Minnesota January? Write to us.
A fair warning first: we are keepers and writers, not vets. If a bird is sick or injured, an avian vet is the right call, and for questions about local rules, your city hall, HOA or state veterinarian will beat anything we can tell you by email.
For everything else, from feed protein questions to corrections on incubation times, the inbox below is open.
We are an online publication, so email is the way to reach us. No storefront, no phone line, just a real person on the other end of the inbox.
What to send
What makes a good email
Tell us which guide you are writing about and what you are seeing with your flock. Details help: how old the birds are, what you are feeding, and roughly where in the country you live, because advice for a Georgia spring is not advice for a Minnesota one.
If you are reporting an error, point us to the page and the number or claim in question. If we got it wrong, we will fix it and say so plainly.
Photos of a brooder or run setup you want a second opinion on are welcome. Photos of a bird in obvious distress go to your avian vet first, then us if you still want to share.
Before you hit send
How fast will I hear back?
We read everything, but we are a small operation, so replies can take a little while. If your question is urgent and involves a bird's health, do not wait on us: find an avian vet near you and go from there.
Can you give me medical advice for my duck or quail?
No, and honestly you should be wary of any website that tries. We can point you toward the right guide, for example our notes on bumblefoot or angel wing, but diagnosis and treatment belong with an avian vet.
Can you answer questions about local laws or HOA rules?
We cannot interpret your local ordinances, and rules vary from town to town. For anything legal, check with city hall, your county extension office or your HOA directly. Our guides flag the common issues, but they are not legal advice.
