    Leg injury/Sciatic damage or Marek’s?? Need Advice Please

    On July 29 we noticed our 15 week old RIR bantam was laying over in the corner, not acting normal. We got her out and she couldn’t walk. After examining her, it seemed she had somehow injured her left leg or hip—it was tender. The first day or so she was obviously in pain so I gave her some...

    3 wk old chick w/injured leg

    Last night my 3 wk old bantam slipped off the edge of the brooder and fell in landing on the cone of the heating plate. At first she was still walking but would sit often. Then she started having these fits where she’d flop around and cry. But she still ate and drank before going to bed. This...

    Chick wobbly and walking on tiptoes

    I have 12 various bantam chicks that are 12 days old. We got them from Cackle and they had a rough trip. I shared an order with someone else and between us we lost 4 chicks and 3 ducklings—either DOA or died within the first couple days. One of my little white silkies was doing fine until about...

    Bantam hen labored breathing lethargic (1st flock)

    I’m a newbie and as much as I read, research, and try to do what’s best for my animals...the fact is I don’t have experience with chickens. We had 6 d’Uccles—9 months old—and we lost one about a month ago. She was the smallest but otherwise she had no symptoms—no warning that anything was wrong...

    Rooster limping

    Newbie here...first flock...6 D’Uccles (1 rooster). About 2 weeks ago I noticed our rooster was limping slightly—not real obvious but then I also saw a speck of blood on the ground so I looked at his foot. He had a small injury that I cleaned and dried, then applied hen healer. I couldn’t tell...

    3 Show Quality d’Uccle Cockerels

    We ended up with 3 cockerels and 3 pullets. DH doesn’t want any roosters because he’s afraid of offending neighbors (and he doesn’t want to deal with crowing either!) If we’d only had one, I may have been able to talk him into it. But three won’t fly 🙃 and besides I don’t think it would work to...

    4 week old SWEET D’Uccle cockerels to rehome in NC

    Piedmont Triad area NC—willing to travel a bit to give these guys a GOOD home. We have fallen in love with them but can’t keep roosters. Breeder will take them back but they will go in the stew pot and that is not an option!! We have 2 Mille Fleur and 1 Porcelain. They are show quality. We have...

    Experienced breeder recommended cracked corn

    I just got 6 D’uccle chicks today that are 4 days old. I have no experience. I got them from a local breeder that also shows them. He’s an old timer that’s been doing this all his life so I felt pretty confident in most of his advice. But one thing he said went against what I’ve read so I’m...

    Hardware cloth advice

    I’m a newbie. We don’t have chickens yet—planning to get some chicks next year. So right now we’re planning the coop and run. I want to put hardware cloth everywhere to be safe because I’m a worrier and we live in the woods. I’ve never had any pet outside so it’s going to be an adjustment to...

    No chicks yet

    Hi! We’re still in research and preparation mode. We’re planning to get a variety of chicks next year, but we have a lot of work to do first. I want our coop and run to be as predator-proof as possible and DH wants it to look nice so it might take a while! We have 3 kids—2 boys (13,11) and 1...
