Hi alibra, I am currently selling Jubilee babies and hatching eggs. My bloodlines are from the importers Marc Sacre, Greenfire and the Grisbrecht line. Let me know if you would like some pictures.

LOL, Sonja73, that is how I think! I am breeding them now and I told my husband that if I never sell a single one my yard will be the better for it! I think they are the most beautiful chicken I have ever seen--with the Mottled Orps being a close second but my wallet can't do those yet! And most...

I love this brooder, what a great idea!

When my hens started laying last year I had one of those itty bitty eggs and one of my friends begged to take it. I am now going to call her up and tell her what they are called. This is the first time I have ever heard that name put to them. Thank you again BYC for new info...

Hello, I have had chickens for over 30 years and have seen a lot of great and funny things out of my little friends. But I have a young Jubilee pullet who met a 3 year old rooster and has become totally attached to him. She is like a pesky little sister, jumping up and pecking at his face...

Hi, I was having the same problem with my Jubilees. They have oyster shell access at all times and get a mixture of laying pellets, crumbles, poultry conditioner and showbird food as well as fresh fruits and veggies plus they are on grass so I wasn't dealing with a dietary issue. They had...

Hello SpeckledHills, After taking this chick to many expensive vets I finally took him (he turned into a big pretty boy!) to an old farm vet who really just does vacs and dewormers for domestic pets now. This man knew exactly what was wrong with him (as you suggested, slipped tendon) and has...

Hello All, This is SUCH a great thread, I am glad I found it. I am breeding these gorgeous birds myself and am happy I have found a group who can share their experiences with me. I am breeding from Marc Sacre, Nellie's at Rockin-G (the best little hen came from her, a funny girl) and Greenfire...

I am sorry your little chick died, ChickenPerson. It is difficult when you give everything you got and still lose them. I am really working with this little one and hope it makes it. I can't use it for breeding, of course, just in case this is a genetic thing but I can give it a very good life...

I took Scooter to a vet and was told this is clubfoot. I have zero experience with this in chickens. The vet suggested some physical therapy to assist with range of motion. Any ideas out there? I read a post talking about making some thing to attach to the foot to splay it properly but Scooter's...

Hard to tell from the article. Scooter's leg looks a little different from those pictured but it does indeed seem to be something out of place. I am also afraid of waiting too long, as was mentioned in the articles which is why I would love to find a vet to look at it. I am surrounded by vets...

I have no idea. Is there something I could do to test for that? And what is the fix, if there is one? Thank you!!

This is Scooter, she is almost a month old. She is a Jubilee Orpington that I hatched out from shipped eggs. She came from a VERY good breeder but her "nest mates" were so messed up in travel the breeder told me that they were scrambled when they were "eggtopsied" after they were returned to the...

I am so sorry the little sweetie died. It is always terrible when we try our best and that best isn't what is needed or isn't good enough.

I am currently in the very same boat and was on here surfing the vast knowledge base for an answer. I have a chick that has a similar situation going on. It took longer for it to learn to drink and eat. I put bright marbles in the small measuring cup I was watering it out of to help it see the...
