Wow, genetics is hard to get, even with the calculator!!! It really doesn't matter to me what breed she is, I still love her already. She is so full of personality, even as tiny as she is. thanks to everyone who looked at this thread and answered, I appreciate you taking time to help a newbie...

Wow, I hadn't noticed the muffed beard so much until I looked at the pic again. I hope it is a she! I am not sure what is meant by partridge EE. I have three gray/brown EE hens, two gold/black EE hens, one white EE hen, one cream EE hen. Thanks for all the Reponses. Here is another...

Wow, and here I thought my lil roo was to young to be a daddy...we believe he's about for months old now so only would have been three months old when he fathered it....is that too young???

I was pretty sure all my EE lay green eggs. Is there a possibility that she could lay a light cream colored egg?

Hello. We have bought all our chickens from other people, except for our mutt babies we have hatched. We hatched this lil girl (I hope) and she is the wild down color. I have read up on genetics but I don't know how to tell if our females / males have the silver / gold genetics in them...

Update on sweetpea..she is eating a little and drinking lots. We put a pool in the garage for her and carry out warm water for it. She is swimming lots and tries to stand up and shake. Her legs are working Beyer and she can now stand with help. However, she cannot move her wings and it seems to...

Well, so far Sweetpea is holding her own. She is comfortably resting on a nice bed with water and food within easy reach. Still not walking and acts like her neck is spasming. She must have gotten enough epsom salt to help as she has soaked the bed several times (I swear she grins when I have...

Eek. So confusing! However, the more I read about botulism...I don't think that's it, but don't know. Closest avian vet is over four hours away. I was wondering if benadryl would help? Saw on here that you can give ducks 1/2 ml every 24 hours. Honestly, if I don't try it I'm afraid she won't...

I did wonder about that, but wouldn't one of the others also show symptoms? They are a flock of six. I did try to give her Epsom salt water last night and she took a little. Today she seems to be having trouble swallowing. How can I get it down her? Thank you very much for your response! It's...

I am unsure of the duck's age. It is a female. She was fine yesterday. Then today she could hardly swim in the pond. Once we got all the ducks out of the pond, she could not walk up onto shore, I had to wade out and get her. She acts like her neck is spasming, she pulls it back and...

Eight happy healthy babies!!! Yay! :-)

Thank you...
