How old are they? I'm dying over here wanting one! Even though I hatched 5 Roos standard ugh! My only hens are the seramas . I love my Mille fluer d'uccle ! Not sure how well she will share her coop!Yea his comb is awesome lol. I would probably give him to you if you were closer...I think I'm ending up with 3 roos. "Shakey's" comb is not growing but he acts just like his brothers...play fighting ect..."chicken Little", crouching behind him is also a feisty little sucker!
Very pretty!! What cross? Or is this a true color? I'm still learning.Here is one of my favorite babies from this spring, I love her coloration!
It's been over 20 days and she's still on roost!Some chickens tend to molt very fast, which can put a lot of stress on the bird. But, she should be fine

mine will hide in the coop to avoid a rooster, especially when molting, he must be too much for her.It's been over 20 days and she's still on roost!she only comes out if I pick her up. If not during the evening hours right before sunset and she's always first to bed. She lost more plumage as well. I took a good look at her! She does have leg mites I have been treating with olive oil every day . Also, put poultry dust on her. I could t find any mites on her plumage. She doesn't have any bare spots . She's is growing new plumage. It's just been so long! I changed her diet. to higher protein , eggs, yougurt& sos seeds among other things. Any ideas? Her comb has become pail as well. Thank you in advance ! Poor baby!
Edited , I just cleaned coop really good yesterday! I do have A cockerel who jumped on her last week.he's to young to be graceful or fertile.
We have a baby cockerel who I normally keep in a separate coop and they rarely range together. He did try to get her once and i grabbed him put him away. He's only 10 weeks or so. He's not crowing and attempting to get the smaller hens like my bantams. She started this behavior before I took him outside. Just not sure what else to do? But wait....
