I have a pair of Buffs and for about the last week or 10 days I had noticed my gander standing on one foot frequently. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't think too much of it since it's been so cold I thought he was warming his feet. This morning when I let them out of their enclosure, I saw that...

Since there has been an interest expressed in a thread dedicated to the discussion of showing cochins and the breeding and genetics involved in improving our breed, it is our hope that this thread might be a forum to serve this purpose. Pictures are welcome, but mostly to exemplify what you're...

I have a 1 yr old Mille Fleur hen that is experiencing episodic lameness. The first time this happened, after reaching sexual maturity, I freaked out thinking it was Marek's disease; however, after 24 hrs the lameness disappeared and she returned to her usual healthy self with no residual...

I have a 1 1/2 year old bantam cochin hen that I discovered 4 days ago, sitting with her eyes shut and her mouth slightly open, appearing to be having some difficulty breathing. I freaked out, snatched her up and brought her inside to analyze the situation. I fully expected to loose her that...

Even though there is already a thread devoted to the love and admiration of the d'Uccle in this area, it hasn't actually focused specifically on the genetics and science of the breeding of the various varieties of the d'Uccle. It is our hope that this thread might be a serious forum for the...

Can anyone tell me where I can fine Marek's vaccine rather quickly. I've got chicks due to hatch the end of this week and I really need to find the vaccine. The usual supplier is out. Thanks for any information you have. Nancy

I picked up a pullet just shy of a yr old (Bantam Cochin) two days ago, and after I got her home found that she had mites. Now today she has a swollen, mattery eye and the corner of her mouth has a little crusty place on it on the same side as that eye. If I touch the corner of her mouth on the...

I have a SQ bantam Columbian Cochin that has extreme feathering on his legs and feet. I have had him for about 2 or 2 and 1/2 month now and he is magnificent. He is housed with his hen of the same age who is showing no similar problems on her feet or anywhere else that I have found yet. They are...

I posted info on this hen back on the 20th and I've copied it and I'm just going to paste it here for you to refer to: "I have been on a long, hard search for what seems like forever trying to find a hen for my Bantam Partridge Cochin roo. It would seem that hens are just really hard to come by...

I am looking for the best, least traumatic ways for my birds and me to re-organize. I have 2 trios of Mille Fleur d'Uccle and ideally I would like to consolidate and put all of the hens with my best roo and the other has been offered a home with a 4H'er who has "bantams" but no bantam roo. I...

I have been on a long, hard search for what seems like forever trying to find a hen for my Bantam Partridge Cochin roo. It would seem that hens are just really hard to come by for some reason. After a 2 mo search, I was finally able to secure one. I payed $20 for her, she is only 5 mo old, and I...

Does anyone have an open incubator in the Wilmington area. I've got Speckled Sussex and Millie Fleur eggs that I'd like to try to hatch. I'm not really sure they're fertile, but I'd like to give them a try. Might be nice to try to hatch them before the 27th. ?? Not sure if there's time. I...

In no time all three were up there into with her, the other hen and the roo. Is it safe to assume they are ruined? Is there anything I can do? I'm just sick.
