    Blue Swedish Male or Female?

    This is 3-month-old Gershwin. Can anyone tell if Gershwin is male or female?

    Need help! WIld 20+ ducks keep getting in the coop daily

    I agree that they should be trapped and humanely euthanized. They're disruptive to both you and the environment, they can no longer survive on their own, and nobody's going to want to adopt or buy diseased ducks. It makes me sad, but it seems to be the best option.

    Male duck now alone.

    He has his own part of the yard sectioned off which the hen enters/exits as she pleases, but he's actually quite he gentleman with her. :)

    State a fact about yourself!

    I hatched a grocery store egg once.

    Male duck now alone.

    It sounds like he drowned her. Drakes will push the ducks' heads underwater in an attempt to make them submit. If you get a duckling, don't let her near Chuck until she's full grown. And I'd get another pekin, or even jumbo pekin so that she'll have a chance against him in size. I'd go back to...

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    I completely agree! And at least the rooster waits until it's morning!

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    I was keeping him as a pet, but I've been going under the radar in the city, so I'm going to have to figure out what to do with him

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    I used a Brindea mini Eco incubator if my drake ever went broody, that's make my year. By the way, my new rooster did his first crowing this morning. What timing!

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    No, he was the only one to hatch since the eggs had been refrigerated.

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    Thank you. And he definitely looks like a cockerel to you, right?

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    Well he was solid white/yellow as a chick, so I assumed leghorn, but now I'm not sure.

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    (s)He has some slightly paler skin behind his/her wattles, but it doesn't quite look like a full-on earlobe yet

    White leghorn hen, or not???

    Hasn't laid an egg, but hasn't come close to crowing either.
