DO NOT use this breeder. We made the mistake of several orders from there. Many of their breeds were clearly inbred, and failed to thrive. I have 2 year old cream legbar roosters that are only slightly larger than seramas. Very low hatch rate as well. Afterwards, I learned that the owners also...

Paralysis due to the bacterium in avian botulism will cause paralysis which is typically in my experience first seen in the neck or hip area, which could explain th wry neck. Also, if a nutrient deficiency is suspected, you must always give birds selenium and vit e together or else their bodies...

Roundworms? Are they white? Apple Cider Vinegar should work on those, or TSC carries a poultry dewormer. I give ACV to them once a month in their water just as a preventative for internal parasites. If you get the chance put a poop smear under a microscope.... SOOOO COOL! you can see the worm...

I'd say more old English, or a jap that was bred but showed t long-legged gene and sold as pet quality.

Likely avian botulism if she has had access to worms, especially if it has been rainy. Easy fix, Epsom salt water, fairly high concentration. My other guess would be mold poisoning.

They certainly look like lavenders. If any develop darker blue rims to the feathers, then those are blue orpingtons however. Lavender is sometimes also called 'self blue' because it is similar to blue (typically lighter) and a solid shade. From the pics they look like lavs but keep watching the...

Possibly a sultan? I believe they can carry the silkied gene however I may have wrong. The feathers look unusually soft which is typical of a Ss (silkie split)

At first glance I thought cream legbar however the leg colour is wrong. Based on the evidence of slight beard I would say ameraucana crossed with something that carries a crele or barred gene with a single comb.

Being in Canada, ISAs aren't a typical breed. If they are like redlinks, they will not breed true. I would firstly recommend a silkie pair. The roosters are spectacular, and the hens are incredible mothers. From there decide if you would like to breed purebreds or mixed breeds. From there just...

Another thing to maybe consider is if there are any local poultry shows/ fairs it can be really fun to perhaps in your flock have one or two show birds. Showing can be a lot of fun for both kids and parents! You can have show quality layers, or breeds that are just for show. I have a pen/run...

The long lustrous Sickles indicate a roo. Also, the long pointed hackles and saddles. The only other thing I can think of is sometimes if there is no rooster, the most dominant hen will molt in pointed feathers, a pronounced comb, and will begin crowing.

Leghorns have single combs and no beard. Ameraucanas have a beard and muffs around their head. I would say ameraucana.

When showing birds, type is the most important thing. Judges typically don't use th point system anymore, but use a comparison system. The points act as a guide to rank the severity of defects. A missing toenail would be only a single point deduction. from what you have said, I would go with...

Adorable little guinea! Many people around my area keep them with their flocks for protection from aerial predators

Username: PeacockJojo Name: Candy Cane Category: Rooster Other: Silkied Serama roo. Loves to show off and will crow whenever he is around a group of people to show off. Photos:

I find that my standard orpington chicks always have unusually large feet (:P) however that could just be the lines. What is the comb type?

I have an orpington rooster who will go into the nesting boxes with the ladies and 'sit'/stand guard until they lay their eggs. The only problem is he is too big for the nesting boxes. He will often be stuck with either his tail or head sticking out, and some very grumpy hens inside :P

Thanks for the info! The Yokohama was also developed from the onagadori. Do you know if the hatcheries you mentioned ship outside of the states? I know that some do, for a fee.

Hi I am new to BYC!!!!! My dream chicken is an onagadori!!
