That is weird! I’ve had chicks with curled toes before but they were younger. I decided to get cardboard and splint them. Hopefully it helps. I wasn’t sure if there would be much help at 5 weeks

I got a little porcelain D’Uccle from the feed store and I’ve had I’m assuming her for a couple weeks and just realized that her third toe on both feet curls in oddly. It’s not stiff or anything. In the past, I’ve had tiny chicks I have used cardboard to the feet. And I’m wondering if I should...

I agree! I have used this page for so much information over the years and I’m always frustrated when I never find out the end result 🤣🤣🤣

I raise silvers and male silvers have a pretty significant “bib” and rust color around the legs, vent. I agree it looks like you have a silver female. Congrats

Is it too early to sex these bantams. I have figured out the breeds but I’m in doubt that combs won’t start popping up soon. I have 5 total. The first picture is a straight comb golden sebright who is looking roo-ish. The others I think pullets. Probably around 4 weeks? So may be too soon to...

Update. Definitely a D’Uccle. Thank you

Also I agreed. My golden neck roos always flogged my kids. So I won’t keep any roos. 🤣

I think that’s why I enjoy getting straight run bantams. I like to guess and sit and wait to see if they are hens or roos. It’s a sick pleasure 🤣

I like to live on the wild side 🤣 She just pooped so I figured it was safe 🤣

Oh yay! Yes I raised golden neck D’Uccles for a few years but got mean roosters. Fingers crossed this is a pullet. I settled on salmon Faverolle bantams. And I have blue wheaten americauna bantams. But I can’t keep myself away from the feed store chicks. I think it’s the allure of the unknown...

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes and the dark ones are golden sebrights. I’m just stumped with the other one. ( also have a porcelain D’Uccle in there too)

Hey, I’m wondering if this looks like a Mille fluer cochin or D’Uccle? Got it today and the black on the head is throwing me off. Seems too light to be a D’Uccle. What does the BYC community think? Thanks!

I’d just keep an eye on it when if comes to lice/mites. My birds have feathered feet. I keep salmon Faverolles, bantam and large fowl. I used to use permithrin powder but I splurged and bought Elector psp. I will occasionally see raised leg scales and I’m like. “Ok time to spray it down” I use...

I live near Chattanooga and didn’t grow up with chickens but have had them for several years. I do treat for mites/ lice and deworm consistently. Like twice a year. But not everyone does. I keep a flock of 4 large fowl and 6 bantams ( separate because I have 2 roosters) I never thought thar...
