Bring her to a Vet. Any vet near your immediate area. If they can help; which they most likely can; they will do their best. And if they can't help, they will point you in the direction of a facility that can. And if they don't, ask.

I don't know what to do right now....I don't know any advice to give. Im so sorry.

Contacted Ciera, and got a amazing reply! Thank you so much!

I love bantam Frizzle Cochins. But sadly, yesterday, I lost my first Fit and Show Champion and Reserve Champion Shilo.....the bird in my picture is Rontu, my Splash Rooster that died a while ago from stress at the fair. You could pull him across the yard by his hackles and he would still run to...

Just got a Fit and Shower after my first Grand Champ and Reserve Champ died yesterday. She's a black Cochin frizzle!!

Are her legs totally mangled? Can she simply not move them? Is she healthy in every other way? These are ways of seeing this disease. Im sorry for all the questions. There is sadly no cure for Merek's disease. Other symptoms include "Partial or total paralysis of the legs, sometimes wings, and...

This could be Marek's Disease. Now, Marek's Disease doesn't just fly in, and attack the bird, it slowly takes over and paralyzes the bird. I had a bird that had this, and it was very hard to see her slowly get paralyzed starting with her legs. We had to put her down. But, I could be totally...

Hello fellow Washingtonians! I live around the Tacoma area and Yesterday I lost my first Fit and Show bird, and regular show bird, Shilo. She was a grand champ and reserve champ at Fit and Show at the Puyallup fair. So I was looking for a somebody whom breeds Bantam Cochins, any variety under...

Thank you all for your kind words. I have another Cochin, and shes in training right now, and her name is Mona Lisa. I contacted a amazing breeder in Washington state hopefully to get more birds. I got Shilo and her sister Ming-Ming from a lady on here. Thank you all. And I am sorry for your own...

I am starting a breeding program with my birds. They are Bantam Cochins. Male is a bad quality frizzle. There are two females. One female is a Black Frizzle Cochin and a Mottled Cochin. I am getting more show quality birds to show. I was wondering how to figure out how many will be Frizzled, and...

This isn't something I would normally do for a bird. But I think this is something that should be done for the best bird in the whole world. I had a bird, her name is Shilo. She was my Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Fit and Show mottled Bantam Cochin. I had her since she was just a chick. I...

Thanks! This is wonderful information! I can show off to my 4H leader, and to the judge at the state fair! I love Kefir, and its kinda cool to know this!

Whoa, new information behold! I didn't know you could ferment chicken feed! I thought they could get sour crops! Awesome!

I am assuming you show due to how you're holding him?

Same with me. Bit me in the rear. I wouldn't have my grand champion D'uccel if I didn't, though.

Hmmm. Partridge Rock? I would say no. They need different heating temperatures, and bullying could happen.

Not to chickens. To chicks, yes, a lot of things are toxic but fully grown chickens don't have much to fear. I would look it up, though. Basically, if you died in their coop they would eat you. If you're going to give them treats stick with crickets, etc.

MPC is great, though. They always respond to recommendations, emails, and if they mess up the re-do your order for free. Very wonderful people there, I tell you! We don't have to really buy chicks anymore, and I really don't like buying chicks. We have Silkies, Cochins, and Jap's going broody...

I think your best bet is MPC. If they get the order wrong, the throw in extra chicks to make up for it. Beware of UPS though. Multiple time chicks have been shaken to death/Lost in the mail with UPS. But, That could be the only shipping service.

Haha, sometime I do that too. But, there can never be a '100' percent sexing guarantee on chicks. Wish there was!
