    Breed Identification Wanted on Unique Hens

    Thanks everyone for your responses! I remember looking up the breed when I went to pick them up to verify that everything checked out, and it did. I just can't remember what it was for the life of me. I'm just going to be rehoming Scary Spice, so I guess I'll mark her as mixed unless I have a...

    Silver Gray Dorking--Lethargic, Shaking Head, Rolling Backwards, etc

    Thanks for your support! She seems to be better now-- but not 100%. I am waiting to hear back about blood work from the vet and have her on antibiotics. The vet noticed that she had an abrasion under her feathers on her head, so she may have knocked her noggin. My serama, Popcorn, has been...

    Thank you!!!! Yeah, Stormy's little waddles have definitely been throwing me, but she sits relatively squat. I've never had a sizzle before, so I'm flying a little blind. Thanks for your insight about Linkler as well :)!
