I am reading conflicting information so I decided to just ask. I have a group of 10 wk old girls. They're fully grown and feathered but not of laying age. They're seperated from my older group that consists of 2 Drake's. Is it ok to integrate them all now or should I wait another month or so...

Hello
I'm fairly new to keeping ducks. I got a group early spring and my female is laying. She lays her eggs with the chickens and then leaves the house and goes about her day. The drakes then go in the house and chase the chickens out and I found my Pekin drake sitting on a nest. Are they...
This is my first batch of ducks and I'm just wondering what i have here. Did a little research but could use a second opinion. Thinking it looks like a golden Layer hen? He/she is about 9wks old.
I have almost 4 week old mix of ducklings and i have one smaller one I believe is a khaki that is pecking at the others (bigger ones). One of them has a nickle size piece of down missing. Put blukote on it and separated the khaki for a few. It's too cold to put them out yet. Any suggestions on...
I have been raising chickens for about 5 years now but this is my first bunch of ducklings. I absolutely love them! Just wanted to share a picture of my 2 pekins. One of them is a bit bigger than the other, im guessing it's like chickens? One of them is probably a drake?
I have a rooster and two hens for sale, they are just over a year old. He was supposed to be a she, thought it might work but he is just too big for the rest of my flock. He is a little flighty but doesn't show any aggression, very nice bird. Want to sell them as a set, they are all healthy and...
We have 9 week old easter eggers and I was checking them over today and a couple I noticed had little bumps over their little toe. Could these be the beginning of spurs?
We want to let our flock free range and we have what looks like tiny strawberries growing everywhere. I was wondering if anyone knows what these plants really are and if they are safe for chickens.
We are new to keeping chickens, have wanted to for years and now we are able to. We have a little flock of easter eggers. They will be 3 weeks old Monday and I can't believe how fast they grow. Think I need a bigger brooder. We are in the process of building a coop. It's so much fun planning...
