Hello all! I am searching for show quality d'Uccle breeders, as I would love to add some new varieties and start some new breeding programs. I am looking for Grays (though I know very few if any people breed these, or at least I don't have any breeders in my area), Blacks, Blues, Buffs, Blue...

Sour or impacted crop is a definite possibility, especially if she doesn't seem to be passing stool, and her crop is not emptying. You could try a warm bath, which would relax the muscles and possibly help any blockage to pass, and also giving her either mineral or olive oil by syringe, which...

Hi there! So sorry that your seller was dishonest, but at least you got a cute pullet out of the deal instead of a cockerel. Best of a bad situation, I guess . Just thought to put my two cents in on what breed she may be. If she has a rose comb, then she is most likely some laced variety of a...

I'm so sorry for your loss. She is a cutie, and she almost looks like a Brown Red d'Uccle or a Mahogany Mille Fleur, both of which are hard to find in the US. I love those leg feathers, too!

Hello all! I am making this thread to get an idea of who else breeds d'Uccles here on BYC! I have been to a few different breeder threads, but it's tough to judge a bird's quality without a picture. I would appreciate if anyone posted a picture of your birds, any variety is great! I will be...

It will take a while until she begins to show improvement, and unfortunately this problem won't be cured overnight, but as long as she is not getting worse, I consider that a victory !

Because Newcastle is extremely rare, I wouldn't be that concerned about it, though it does exhibit some similar signs to Wry Neck; if she starts showing strange symptoms it could be worth looking into. By those pictures, it does look like Wry Neck, but it seems you have caught it early, as she...

To me this sounds like a case of Wry Neck. If her head seems to be tucked to one side or the other, or behind/under her, it is most likely Wry Neck. This disease is believed to be caused by a vitamin deficiency, and if this is what she has it was most likely caused by the mites she recently...

Hello there! These are a few of my birds, I don't have pictures of most of my younger ones at the moment. Thanks! Name: Jackson (That's a Fact, Jack!) Breed: Modern Game Species: Bantam Chicken Gender: Rooster Category: Bantam Class (Sorry it's sideways, my computer won't let me swivel it )...

That's great to hear! Sounds like she's going to make a full recovery !

So sorry to hear about your hen. I'm a newbie here on BYC, but I have owned chickens for 10 years. What I would do is check for any swelling of any kind on the thigh, shank and hock, as well as the bottom of the foot. TexasLisa had a great idea of bumble foot. If there is a corn-looking scab...

Thank you!! I am loving the site, and you're right, everyone is so friendly!! Have a great night!

I know this already ended, and congrats to the winner! Great topic too, I've never seen one like this! Even though it ended, I figured I'd share one of my photobombers. The male is Jackson and the female is Ellie Mae. That face! ~MisFitzFarm

Hi there, As far as I know, the feathers should grow back normally, though it may take a while considering the amount pulled. I believe they should grow back in the same manner as when they molt out. I think that if the feather is snapped, though, it won't grow back until she molts it out, as...

Thanks all for the warm welcomes! I'm loving this site!!!

I'm so very sorry for your loss, but you did everything you could for her.

Trust me, it's never silly to cry over a lost bird, and I do the same exact thing.

Hi there everyone! Though I am new to BYC, I have owned chickens for 10 years, and have been showing for 9 years. Just thought I would introduce myself. I recently moved, and now that I have space, I have begun breeding many different breeds and varieties. My birds are all pets before show...

Hello there. How is your hen doing? I have limited experience with sour/ impacted crop, but to me it sounds as if she may have it. You seem to be doing all you can for her, the only things I can think of are possibly a warm bath, this may help any blockage to move along, or you could also try...

Hi there. So sorry to hear about your hen :(. I am new to BYC, but I have owned chickens for 10 years. Just recently in September, I had a hen that had something similar to this. She was a four year old Barred Rock Bantam, and one of my best show birds (not to mention a sweetheart). For a few...
