Hi and welcome to BYC! I just happen to have Mille Fleur D'uccles They are great little birds, I have a bunch of eggs in the incubator right now. What colors did you narrow it down to?

Welcome to BYC, Coopcommander! I think you'll enjoy it here! The people on this thread are extremely nice, and very helpful. They have taught me nearly everything I know about chickens. I've got a very happy flock of 6 hens, and I'm getting some babies on the 7th of next month

Do you mean with the stuff I bought? So I'm killing the adults, then when treating again at 10 days I'm killing off the rest that weren't adults at the first treatment, is this correct? So I would NOT need to treat with a different medicine after 10 days?

That is correct. Some recommend using a different medicine to avoid drug resistance in the worms but you can use the same one this time and a different one in the future when you need to worm again.

Perfect. Thanks so much for all your help! I'm looking forward to having healthy chickens again I filled up their waterer and put in 30ml of the medicine, and then put it back in the coop after dark, and will do the same thing tomorrow evening. Initial treatment, plus treatment 10 days later, then 2 weeks after that of no eggs means I'm going to be out of eggs for almost a month! 24 days. Better save the ones I have now for baking. I am a strict vegan, but I will eat the eggs from my own hens on occasion. I mostly just use them for baking, which I've been really into doing lately. Good thing eggs from backyard hens will stay good for so long!

I made chocolate pudding today. It uses 3 egg yolks. Of course I was checking fertility on them. The Kittle RIRs were fertile and would be interesting chicks--Brand the Partridge Pene is in with them.

All this talk of different chicken breeds is making me wish I lived in a house with acreage so I could have more than 10 hens! Some day I'm going to live in the country, but close to a small city, in a place where I can have a bunch of chickens! There's so many that I want but can't have due to the darn 10-chicken limit. But hey, I have 6 and am getting more, I really shouldn't complain

10 is still a nice number, and more than the 6-chicken limit we had in Redding!

CackleJoy, he has been smitten with an adorable breed. He should have good luck selling to 4-Her's, they make wonderful showmanship birds for the younger set and who doesn't like them.

They are so comical, we will enjoy having them too

Oops, this is not my BYC account. Son, you'll have to remember to log out because your mother will hi-jack your account if you don't!

Okay, that comment was from Cacklejoy

It would be a rare post indeed that required the coopcommander to use a winky face. The trials of 2 accounts and one computer
