ColorParakeet I see you are in Oregon. I'm from the Eugene area. Now residing in Florida. But Oregon will always be home to me. It's like a hole nother country out here. Most of the people out here who ask me were I'm from ask what country thats in. I can't help but be smart and ask if they finished school.
An update on the little sultan's they seem to be doing a little better this evening. Nither is shaking and are not falling but still real unsteady on their feet. I'm still wanting on a call back from the state vet

Thank you again

Really? They think it's in a different COUNTRY?:O

Great! I'm glad they're getting better! Do they have lots of protein? Just curious.

And you're very welcome!

they are on medicated chick starter and get home grown mealwormsas a treat once a day. I give all my bird some crushed home grown peanuts 2 -3 time's a week along with sprouts. Could it have something to do with the sprouts. This morning was their frist sprouts. I didn't think about it because the polish is fine but older

It may be the sprouts, they may have a bug but I doubt it. Well, since they're getting better they should be fine.

This is why I'm a vegetarian, taking away a perfect creatures life makes me so upset.

Yay there's a sultan thread!
So a couple weeks ago I was rummaging through the local Atwoods' mixed hatchery chicks bin and picking out the breeds I like. "Oh, here's a white Silkie, let's throw him in."
Two weeks later, my "Silkie" has vulture hocks, a V-comb and feathers that are decidedly unSilkied. I was confused for a bit until I remembered the Sultans in the hatchery catalog I was obsessed with when I was 9.
Now I'm looking at your lovely birds and getting excited about owning one, albeit accidentally.

Wonderful! Another person who just adores the graceful Sultans! If any of them are males keep them, the males are angels!

Thanks

Mavis is a special gal. That pic was taken when she was just growing her head feathers - the other "non-fancy" chickens at her previous home pecked her bald & she was sold cheap at the co-op swap meet because she wasn't show quality. She's awesome, fully feathered now & hopefully will be a mama soon! She's not broody (unfortunately typical) so her eggs are in the incubator along with our other hen's with a total of 7. Lucky, right?? Hope so!

Cute!

I call my adorable tiny Sultan rooster "Mr.Tuft tail" but his real name is King Alfred!
