Welcome to BYC Clint, it's very nice to meet you. I believe member @Pyxis , has and is breeding Liege Fighters now.

Yes, I do Mine are only about three/four months old now though, so they're too young to breed at the moment.

Hello, and Welcome to BackYard Chickens!

Thanks for the support guys and gals. Just wanna say I found some cockerels but bad news. Respiratory infection. I drove 5 hrs for these birds and got seriously shafted. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1980049212313584?view=permalink&id=2619698131682019&sfnsn=mo
Guys name is Jeff Allen in bluff city Tennessee. Beware please. I'm gonna treat these and hope it's not untreatable. Wish me luck.

That's not good.
How are you treating? Most avian respiratory infections leave the birds carriers for life with flare ups recurring during times of stress.

i got some of the vet rx and some poultry booster, but ive heard giving them acv in there water for 5 days keeps them good and healthy. I honestly dont know what they have but im doing what i can to see if it clears up. could have been a dusty coop idk. Im hoping for the best.

nice to see you Pyxis

Thanks! Sorry I've been a little scarce. Things have been crazy on the farm and at work. I have chicks coming out of my ears, it feels like, haha.

Cull them. I know that sounds harsh, but cull them. Don't try to treat them. All the respiratory diseases but two leave birds carriers for life, so they will always have it, and will always pass it to new birds they come into contact with, and they themselves will always have flareups when they get stressed. At the very least, keep them away from all your birds with the strictest quarantine measures in place, and have them tested to see what it is. This advice from someone who had to cull all their non-waterfowl birds and start over, thanks to being sold two birds with coryza from an unscrupulous breeder.

Testing can be done through this lab, and they'll run a full panel for $98:

If you don't want to spend that kind of money, which I would understand, then it's best to just cull them straight away.

I actually just posted some newish pictures in the thread I started for the breed, here:

Yea I culled them this morning. I was so sad to do it but I felt it was best for them not to continue suffering and for my other chickens. Such a sad thing. I really had a hard time doing it too because I liked them alot and been wanting some.
