I'm definitely leaning toward cockerel with #1, but his wattles arent as pronounced compared to the two SLW
Here's a couple of snaps I took this morning of #1 anyways :)
Hey guys just wondering if anyone can double check my SL and BLR wyandottes?
They're around 9/10 weeks old.
I was recently told all boys
I'm 90% sure old mate is a roo.
Not so sure about this one
And this one..
This one I'm thinking boy also..
I would love to have at least one...
I have an 11 month old runnerXwelsh drake (Seth) and a runnerXpekin duck (Pippin).
Because he's such a serial killer dad and she was determined on being a mother I decided to get a few more girls to add to our flock for when we had to separate them so she could raise her babies in peace. (He...
That was the only photo provided unfortunately.
My friend is considering buying it and asked me if it was what it's advertised as- a black east indie x blue Swedish.
Photos on Google tell me it's not but I thought I might pop the pic up here and see if anyone could tell me what it could be...
We have 7 days till hatch day.
It is the coldest spring we have ever had- and to prove this, in a state where we dont get snow, like ever- it has actually snowed in some places. All of September was basically gale force winds and angry rain, and October is looking pretty similar unfortunately...
Howdy! I was able to get out there one night and have another look- they're developing quite well i think?
Super veiny and theres shapes moving around in them. Unfortunately out of 15 i have 6 left :( something took 5 of them and 4 just didnt develop or they died early i think.
I took these on...
I really need to get a better torch with a more direct beam I think, or a better camera. I tried to take a photo in the dark but you can't see the veins, and the jiggly dot is only just visible. I've drawn an arrow to point it out though aha
So I just checked again while it's dark out and the black part is all veiny and there's a little dark dot amongst the veins that kinda jiggles around a bit?
It's really strange isn't it?? I mean do they look like this later on, is it possible that I've just miscalculated how long she's been sitting on them?
I've checked again (it's really hard to get out there when it's dark unfortunately) and for some reason there are eggs missing now, she's gone down from 15 to 12 and they're just gone, they aren't in the shed anywhere.
I was able to take some pictures today, and I checked all of the eggs...
So our pekin has been sitting full time for about 4/5 days on 15 eggs.
My partner decided to candle them today and mentioned that some of them are going dark?
I came in and had a look myself, and its really hard to explain what it looks like.. I'm assuming the air sac is the white circle at the...
We do have a drake and she's sounding just like your Romy, but shes not preening like that, she just sort of makes herself look like a puff ball, like when they get out of the water and they fluff up?
It's really hard to explain haha sorry, sometimes shes just standing there fluffed up and then...
I can't post a pic at the moment as its dark out but I'll get one in the morning first thing. She's roughly 8/9 months old, and she has 3 buckets outside in the yard plus her paddle pool and she has another bucket of water inside the coop so there's plenty of water for her to wash her face in...
Her right eye is foamy and she sounds hoarse, like she's loosing her voice when she quacks, I don't know if it matters but she keeps fluffing up her feathers too which she doesn't usually do.
I'm unable to take her to the vet until Wednesday as I don't get paid until then, but is there anything...
Yeah, we're in a new rental and whilst we can keep our ducks we cant build anything that cannot be easily taken down unfortunately.
Wooden pickets and chicken wire is what we have been using but it just isnt strong enough haha.
Our muscovy drake (now rehomed) flattened that fence for escape as...
It's winter here so its really cold, she hasn't gone back into the coop since she went in there and covered them with straw.
She sat on them for a full day before they were moved, but I'm wondering if it was because of the heat blowing out behind the fridge haha.
We made the call to remove the...
Hey everyone, so I've noticed my pekin girl has been getting out of her pen a lot lately (I thought she'd been flapping over it even though her wings are clipped, but there was a hole in the fence!) anyway, she laid a bunch of eggs behind the fridge on our patio and has been sitting on them, but...
Hey guys, my 6-7 month old Pekin duck (female) quacks so loud, every time she hears a sound at night! We cant even talk in the kitchen or boil the kettle or turn the taps on, flush the toilet without her going off!
We're in a really quiet residential area and I'm worried that our neighbors are...
