Everyone’s favorite game!
I got these four chicks the first week of May (so just over 2 months old). Sold to me as Easter eggers. I’m only 2 years into my chicken journey so I’m still learning.
I’m praying for #1 and 2 to be pullets. #1 has the all black comb so I can’t tell much by that...
My Mille fleur d’uccles were born in February. Started laying consistently 4-6 eggs a week each in June. In august one of the three pullets I had was killed by a predator and they haven’t laid an egg since! (Two months). In the last few months they’ve appeared to go through a mild molt, though...
My three bantams free range my suburban backyard by day, put themselves in the coop at night when the sun starts to set, and then I go lock them in before bed. We’ve been doing this without problem since spring. Last night I got home a little later than usual at 9 PM, one was missing from the...
From my three weeks of caring for her and all my searching, I think this breed is prone to it. I still have her splinted, but B and rooster booster daily. She has a good will to live but still can’t use her legs. She uses her wings to move a couple feet when she wants. I’m going to keep caring...
Thank you for your kind words! She has a will to live, I’m just new to this with very limited time (why I decided to just do a few backyard bantams). She’s so healthy other than the useless legs!! I just want to give her a chance but my family needs me and I can’t spend the hours a day she needs...
Last ditch effort to save my pullet!!

I’m a very first time chicken mom, I’m learning as I go. This is HeyHey. She is a 3.5 month old d’uccle. Two weeks ago she started walking funny, then lost the ability to walk entirely 24 hours later. Of course, all the googling and...
she is 1.5 weeks in. I have to keep her legs splinted or she is 100% helpless. She still cannot walk. Just today she is balancing on her legs so she is at least not laying on her side or neck. Her belly is raw from laying on it. She still has a will. Eats and drinks we’ll when held in front of...
Anyone have any other advice? She cannot walk at all. I’ve splinted her legs together with vet tape, but she just lays on her side (tries to use her wings to lift herself up). I’ve been hand feeding her scrambled eggs and holding her to her water, as well as dipping her beak in vitamins, twice a...
Help! This pullet is 3 months old. At 2 weeks she got spraddle leg, fixed with splinting them together with a bandaid. Now today I noticed her walking weird again and as of the last half hour she won’t get up to walk at all. I tried the hair and in a straw to bring her legs together but she just...
