Hello all, its been a long time since I posted on here. But... recently I ordered Pekin ducks from a hatchery here in the U.S. out of the six that survived the trip (its a long story so please dont ask) two of them have lite pinkish bills. And two also have crest on their heads, so my opinion is...

Totally understand the cuteness thing, she is awfully cute. I've already mentioned to the Frau that maybe we'll phase out our Muscovey Ducks and get a few Call Ducks. What I don't get is why people think their worth $75.00 a pair. Their kind of like the Dewlap Geese folks were wanting $125.00+...

Thanks everyone after some research that's what I was thinking also a Magpie Call Duck. I was thinking about two months old but most of you are saying 3 months to adult age. I appreciate the help, now to wait and see if anyone come looking for their pet. I'm guessing it's a hen, still...

Hello everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted on here, but I'm back. My neighbors discovered a duckling in their yard and assumed it was one of mine. But it's not, and I'm not sure what breed this little one is. Can anyone help and throw some suggestions my way. Thanks.

Getting ready to retire for a second time, so look for me more you often.

By NO MEANS am I say the man you got the black one from doesn't know what he has, but Jersey Giants & RR neither have black legs. Not saying it's not possible to get them when crossed but in my opinion getting a blacked legged chick from two parents who don't have them is very low odds. That...

I agree with Barnhartchickens2 the second one does resemble some sort of wyandotte the stripes kind of point that direction. Don't ya hate that you get something and don't know what it is, just recently I ordered some turkeys and along with them the hatchery sent 8 little yellowish-orange...

OK, My plan is to cut the chicken run in half. Right now they have (approx) 32x72 (2304sf) giving each about 1150 sf in space. It has 6ft ceilings with some areas going up to about 15 feet. Once the Turks are larger I intend to allow them access to the yard which is only about 1/2 acre with a...

OK so I was thinking of allowing my turkeys to share a coop with my chickens, but from this post my seeing it's not really a good idea.

I'm no expert on these matters but, it maybe something as simple as shes not getting a nutrient she's needing especially if shes starting to lay. The turks i had years ago started to act different and it turned out to be just that. To this day still don't know what it was they were not getting...

Those are beautiful birds, It's kind of funny but I have three that look just like those but mine are crosses between a Silver Laced Rooster and Red Sex Links

Hello everyone, I haven't been here for ages, but the reason I'm writing is... if anyone recalls about a year ago or so I had written that I thought my EE quit laying, well she definitely quit laying her normal green eggs but I was 55% sure she was still laying some brown eggs instead, and I...

? That type of injury Im not familar with, can you get some pictures. But it kind of sounds like something may of attacked it.

Hey City, Never been a huge fan of the colored muscovys, BUT... I must say your ducks # 2 & 4 are really good looking ducks.

Hey everyone got a few new pics of the Muscoveys, they will be 5 weeks old on the 11th of Aug. Hope you like them.
