Just looked it up 2 of them are D'Uccle.

The Seabright is black and white. D'Uccle might be right. I am not 100% sure. Pretty chickens. My wife had the Seabright dancing last night. He is a big bird in a little body.

We have 3 Bantam roosters that are free to a good home. We ended up with 4 and only have room for one. So if you live near Harrisburg PA and would be interested contact me. First come first served to pick which little guy you want. One is a Seabright and the other two are Doukels I think...

Well the only thing that she exhibited was large pupils. She might have gotten a head injury since as she has fallen down the hole more than once. I am going to get her some vitamins and see if that works. She is now separated from the flock so she can be stress free and safe.

That is the correct name but probably spelled it wrong. I have to find the thisel and dandelion as it is winter here and is hard to find. She is still eating but I want to try and get her detoxed. Hopefully she can get her sight back. She really is a nice hen.

Oh I know what I have gotten myself into and thanks to working to get the ordinance changed I know what we can and can't have. I am already working on a brooder pen so our Cochin (aka Fluffy) can hatch some more peeps. I don't know about mixing feed. That does sound interesting though.

I liked your story. Ours is just about as interesting. We bought our new house and the first thing we did was buy a coop as our house is a fixer upper and I didn't have the time to build something. Well we got moved in and about a month or two later my father in law and I started digging the...

We have 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Silver Lace Wyandotte (one of which is currently in the hospital pen), 3 Coocoo Morans (1 is the rooster), 1 Buff Cochin, 1 Americana, 1 Welsmer, 1 Mutt. We just got 2 more from a friend of mine but we seem to think that those hens are broilers of some type and are...

Blindness isn't a common sign of Marek's at all. This could be head trauma or toxicity most likely, which means it's possibly a reaction to the wormer. There is always a percentage that cop the short end of the stick and have a reaction. Some wormers are more prone to causing that than others...

Hi all and greetings from PA. I am no stranger to chickens (family members owned farms) but this is the first time in my life I have to really deal with them. My wife wanted chickens and as per usual she got them. We have about 11 hens and 1 rooster. I look forward to talking with others...

So I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte that both of her pupils are dilated. She sees shadows and has a good weight. I just brought her into the house yesterday because the others were picking on her. Does anyone know of any treatments? She was fine until we treated the flock for worms. Everyone...

I to have a SLW that is blind. She was doing okay with the other hens until it got cold and then she started getting picked on. I have moved her to the basement and she has found her food and water. She still has good weight and likes to talk. How did you make out with yours?
