I have a pair of sumatras (one male, one female), the male is 1-2 years old and the female is 2-3 years old. I have had both of them for a year and I haven't seen them have any eggs yet. The female should have white eggs, so I might mix them up with my sebright, (she has had 2 clutches). I've...

I was powdering my D'uccle hen with diatamacous earth when she flew out of my hands, she didn't flap her wings so she fell. After that she crouched for a long time. I picked her up and when she breaths I can hear clicking. When I move her legs the joint on the hips click. Are her legs pulled out...

He started limping yesterday, I don't think it is broken because he tends to put a little bit of weight on it but not much, when he sits he curls the toes on the hurt foot. I have a video of him limping: And this picture, he toes look kind of lumpy on the bottom and there are some red spots on...

I am trying to get a few sumatras for my mother for mother's day but I can't find good website to get a few hatching eggs, they all require me purchase 15-20 eggs at a time. So I looked for chicks instead and I would have to purchase 15 chicks with $50 shipping. Please help me, any recommendations?

My Golden Neck D'uccle was attacked by a hawk, I saw it swoop in, but I scared it off before it did very much. When I got her, her head was bleeding and it looked like she lost an eye. I cleaned her up and now her eye looks fin but it looks like the back corner of her eye lid was ripped a...

My nearly-year-old D'uccle was found today with her head sticking outside the chicken house barely moving, yesterday she seemed fine and was running around with the rest of our flock. My sister told me that she was favoring one of her legs and slightly shaking last night when we locked them up...

My favorite chicken recently went blind and I have been keeping her in my room with a food an water dish, the first two days she would smack her beak against the metal dish so she could find the food and water but now, after we refilled them she can't seem to find them, she spills them all over...

My chicken has been stumbling around, running into things and banging her beak on the feeder. Here is a video I took of her so you could see how she is acting. I don't know... I am worried she might be blind. What should I do?

So today when I was feeding my golden D'uccle and I noticed her neck was crooked and twisted. Her neck twisted all the way around in order for her to eat the bread treat I gave her. I have tired massaging it and she only squirms. It doesn't seem to be causing her very much pain but she walks in...

Hi, I'm new to chicken breeding and I learned a bit about the genome of the two I plan to breed but I'm still pretty green. I plan on breeding a female golden neck d'uccle and a male porcelain d'uccle. I am curious as to what the chicks will be like. I learned that porcelain is a blue splash...

My 3-month-old sumatra began limping a few days ago, She puts no weight on her leg and just kid of lays it on the ground or holds it so only the toes brish the ground. Irt ssems liked the lower part of her leg is pushed slightly outward from the hock joint. How can I fix this?

I took it to the vet, his tibia has slipped over the hock joint, they put a splint on it but aren't sure if he will ever walk again. Here is a picture of the little guy with his splint on. Another problem though, you can see in the picture his toes are curved and he doesn't have them held...

This is one of my boyfriends chicks, it wont put any pressure on its other leg, it looks like there is something wrong with the hock joint. It just hops around and its so hard to watch. What can I do?

So my eggs have been missing for a while, and after I swept my hen house and removed the litter I saw holes had been chewed through my wood floor! And there were eggs shells in the corner with the insides missing. I have a rat problem and earlier this week I found one of my hens dead in the...

A few of you may remember a few weeks ago I posted with a chick emergency. My little darling was hatched a day early and had her yolk sac still attached to her navel. With help from the member of this site my little chick survived and is now happily parading around my house. His siblings, (two...
