The first one is same bird in all the pictures but the last one of the white chick. Here’s a couple of more pictures. They’re all very similar in size- they were supposed to be sexed. Do you think there could be more cockerels?

Tractor supply had these labeled as cream legbars. I was surprised to see them there and got the minimum of 6. They’re now 4 weeks old and have fully feathered legs and no sign of a crest. 5 are all the same color but one is much lighter. Any thoughts on what they could be? I attached a picture...

Two females would definitely be ideal. I’ve never vent sexed anything and know it can be tricky! Maybe I’ll look more into it and try.

I have two Sebastopols and was wondering if anyone could help figure out what I have. They both are close in size- the white one seems just slightly smaller. They are about 3.5 months old. They make similar noises (pretty quiet) and take turns looking out for each other. I have noticed the grey...

Thank you!

Update: the egg with the largest pip and a lot of movement has broken through and I can see the beak poke out occasionally. Thank you for all the information! Two hatched last night around 9:45pm at the exact same time. Then around 1am the third one (that I had to turn over) started making a...

This morning around 4:30 am I noticed 3 of my 4 duck eggs had started to pip. All are starting on the large end but one is towards the bottom and the other two are towards the top. The fourth has nothing yet. I have a few questions as this is my first time hatching anything. How can I tell if...

Today was day 7 for incubating my Ancona duck eggs. I have 12 and 5 of them were clearly progressing. You could see the heart and all the veins forming. One was definitely infertile but the remaining 6 I’m not sure on. This is my first time doing this. I can see a black spot and a large dark...

When I was trying to look them up those are the closest looking ducks I could find too. Thank you!

I’m new to ducks and I bought these ducks from a local breeder and was told they were Anconas. I did initial research before getting them but after getting them and doing more reading and seeing more pictures I don’t think they are. I reached out to her again to verify she said they were full...

I just bought 20 baby chicks on Saturday. Yesterday we found one baby dead :( so we brought her back and got two more. I now have 21 baby chicks and a few of them appear to be balding on their bellies and always appear wet. Some are worse than others. I noticed the deceased baby had that look to...

Hi! New to BYC and raising chicks! I just bought 21 baby chicks on Saturday and adore them. I have a 10 month old rooster who I rescued as a chick. His mom and siblings were killed by a fox and he was being ignored by the other hens. I couldn't leave him outside in the cold to die so I took him...
