I called my vet and brought one in, she said coccidia and had me treat with corid and vitamins in water. She didn't suggest a necropsy so I didn't do it... I have two left and they never got sick at all, and 40 other birds from two other sources and they're all just fine. Maybe it's because all...
We saved up for a very very long time to buy these birds! Worst of all they were a sweet gift from my husband to celebrate the birth of or first son! This special occasion has been marred by the stress of these beloved birds dropping dead! The breeder I got three from will not help! Please tell...
I am working towards production with my Orps, my mottled 5 hens are giving me 4 or 5 eggs a Dayaks one of them went broody so she's just starting back up. My Isabel's aren't laying yet but I like their long backs, I'm hopeful!
Yes the baby shower was so fun ladies! Thank you for making me feel so special and celebrating this little life with me! It's so fun to have friends who have common interests! I had a blast!
They aren't really production birds but my English Orpingtons are way too heavy to fly lol and lazy. They make great roasting birds. One of the reasons I chose the breed was they would stay in three foot tall fencing.
Bottom of feet look white, I don't see any yellow on the bird. If the APA calls for yellow then no you can't show them. If my Orps had yellow I couldn't show them... Maybe the yellow will appear as they age? I have no experience with yellow legged birds.
