Porcelain d'uccle thread

These are stunning birds!

Yes Porcelain and or D'Ullcle Porcelains are unique. Mine are sweet birds too. This is the second time in my 59 years of life that I had some. When I got the opportunity to get Two, I did.

Do you take in special needs birds?

I didn't originally intend to... but my heart breaks for them... so yes, I basically do....

They are beautiful. . I really love the pictures taken at different times. I guess both of mine are hens because neither of them got the tall cone or tail like yours. Thank you Sue for these fine pictures.

Hello, I have 2 porcelain duccles hens. One is very special needs as she is paralyzed but moves around pretty good. I hand feed her and made a sling for her that she was able to be in for limited time. She is progressing with the paralysis so I hand feed her now. She has a sister that has had some issues but seemed to overcome them but walks with a bit of a limp. I love these hens, started out with 4 of them and now down to 2 in less than a year. Has anyone else had paralysis issues with this breed. I have had them to 2 vets and they ruled out mereks disease. I have had them since last year. I have been giving the one b vitamins and vitamin e. Seems to make a little difference. My other 2 died in the summer. One paralyzed and the other stopped eating, drank lots of water and in 2 days was dead. I do have about 40 other breeds of chickens and mostly roosters. All seem healthy, but getting older. I love the porcelains and I am going to get some from a breeder who says he has not had any issues like the ones I have gone thru. Any info from anyone would be appreciated. Thank you.

May be caused from bad breeding. . .or a different disease.
