We hope so. She's on heavy antibiotics. 4 pills a day. She also can't be vaccinated due to the skin infection.

What Is it called? (If you know)
I hope she does well! It doesn't harm her much, does it?

So after sorting through a lot of information I've never had to sort before.... grand total
White legs=W+/W+Id/Id
Slate legs=W+/W+id+/id+
Yellow legs=w/wId/Id
Willow legs=W+/W+id+/id+
Black shanks with yellow feet w/wid+/id+ER/ER
Black shanks with white feet W+/W+id+/id+ER/ER you can submit it Cyprus, but what is the difference between ER and E? I'll have to study more

Does that mean slate and white are dominant over yellow?

No idea. I just know that it's a skin infection caused by moisture trapped between the skin and fur.
It doesn't harm her. She isn't even acting like it exists.

On top of this, my newest D'Uccle pullet is falling over and acting half dead.........
She also weighs hardly any more than Patience.
Today is not a good day.
I gave her NutriDrench and that's all I can do.
