Its not, you care for them just the same. They are a little more prone to predators because of the decreased vision due to the top knot feathers, but other than that they are regular birds.

My show birds were fed special diets, and were bathed and groomed regularly, but normal farm birds are just like any others.

LOL! You don't dry clean them, you bathe them in the sink with puppy formula flea shampoo.

This whole scene just erupted outa nowhere in the back yard when the loose dogs flushed the deer. Just a reminder that the jungle isn't just out there.

Nah. She just wants another dog to play with.
