Hello! I am new to chickens and was wondering if anyone could help me decide if I have hens or roosters. I believe they are over 4 weeks old currently. We were told they were Ameraucanas, but they came from a feed store, so they were probably Easter Eggers. The darker colored ones name is Hay...
This is my first year raising ducks. I currently have 4 pekins (one is an Aylebury/pekin mix I believe because she has a pink bill) and 2 mallards (may be rouens, still to young to tell for sure). I want to add 2 more ducklings to my flock. I have been doing a little research and think that...

We got 3 new ducklings at the feed store the other day. This is our first time with ducks, so it's all new to us. I assumed at the store that since they were yellow they must be pekin. When we got home and I really got to looking at them and getting to know them better, I don't feel they are...
