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.
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...
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...
OK I've read this twice to ensure I wasn't missing something!!
But the fact remains that FED-EX, USPS, & UPS when animals are shipped HUMAN ISSUES are abundant, usually meaning lose of life to the young livestock WE as customers paid for.
Is it the FED-Ex, USPS or UPS organizations that pay...
Yes, any of the postal services anymore dont care what is being shipped. To them it's nothing more then a BOX. Unless of course it's considered some kind of hazard or explosive, than there's all kinds of rules and regs they have to follow or they will be fined into bankrupcy. I also had the...
Good morning everyone, I got my Muscovy ducklings yesterday 07/09/15 and they are soooooooooooo cute, 6 out of the 14 that made the trip have a little black spot on their heads but what can you do? Their still almost all white. Over time I'll see if I can breed that out of them.
On a sad note...
I should be getting my Muscovy ducklings on the 8th of July, suppose to be all white. No colors, if they are they'll be exactly like the one we had while I was growing up back in Pa., So so many years ago. I'll get some pics up once they arrive. Woo Hoo

Hey TxCarl seeing your name I'll guess your from Texas. I've been interested in getting Muscovy ducks myself, I live just outside Ft Worth. Then I discovered that there's all these restrictions to own them. I've been trying to find out what they are but the only info so far is what I've read...
