So glad I found this post! I've been trying to identify this duckling. Alot of people were telling me a drake but it looks pretty identical to yours!

Hellllloo. I've currently been a duck mother for 3 weeks (I think) Grabbed 5 babes from TSC, I'll post all of them just to show. The only ones I know for sure are the 2 Pekin. BUT THIS ONE duck.. the lone ranger, odd man out, brown one. What is it? Golden 300 drake? That's the best guess I...

Hi! This is Bluebell. Opinions on sex? I’m leaning towards hen but not 100% sure.

Any advice is welcome. Our RIR, Ginger laid a tiny lash egg around a month ago. She had been laying eggs like this for a couple weeks prior to the lash egg. After the lash egg she gets in the nesting box and lays one of these about every day. what’s the next step? What should I be doing. I...

Hatchery bought Blue Ameracauna is almost 8 weeks old and still not fully feathered? It also looks kinda on the skinny side compared to other chicks. any advice or solutions are welcome!

I worded that wrong. Momma has week 6/7 day old chicks. The chick in the post is 3 days. Cackle chicks are 4 days. I tried to introduce baby chick to momma last night and she went nuts. So I’m not sure if she will be okay with anymore besides the 3 she hatched out ☹️

I’m actually running up to Cackle Hatchery today to get it some friends and we’re just going to use a brooder. Do you think it would be smart to take other chicks from momma and put with brooder chicks? They’re 4 days older.

I guess the next problem will be what to do with it once it gets all of its strength 😞 I’m thinking it’ll be too late to put with mom and other babies

still a little ugly but we’re getting there!

He’s everything’s absorbed, I ended up snipping the dried vein that was connected

The chick is up and moving 😳 I am actually shocked. It even took off running from me! Gave some yolk last night and washed him (because I’m 100% sure it’s a rooster) off because he his feathers were hard and stuck to him. Band aid around his legs because he has slight splayed legs. 🤞🤞 he pulls...

Chicks seems a little more lively this afternoon. Still not getting up but has open its eyes a few times when I talk to it. Should I keep in homemade incubator or put under heat lamp? Also feathers are still pretty slicked down.

Can I place new chicks 1/2 days old with momma and her three 4 day old chicks? I have a brooder set up if not but was wondering if this is an option? Higher chances of momma rejecting since her chicks are already hatched?

Should I just open the incubator and let it go ahead and pass? ☹️
