we got 3 ducklings in our box back in Feb and thankfully all were girls. We are only just now able to tell. We also bought two others from TSC a few days after those 3 got here, one of those was male. So I think our ratio of 4 females and 1 male is solid:-)

really?? my chickens barely touch my weeds. granted I only have 12 free rangers until my youngsters get bigger...and an acre of weeds.

So we've moved our ducklings outside to their permanent home, and I want to add some shrubs around the pond, and some water plants in the pond, for them to nibble on What have you all found that is safe for them to have in the pen/pond? I was thinking about water lettuce for inside the pond...

hey fellow gardeners:-) I have half my 16x30 garden plot planted, corn and beans starting to come up, squash seedlings transplanted, and artichokes doing ok. small still so no chokes yet. still harvesting my remaining spinach, lettuce and a few tomatoes. AZ has a heavy clay soil too, I've...

the big yellow one is a Pekin. not sure about the other

one of mine did this while I happened to be watching... they have a small hill in their enclosure, and the 5 of them were running down the hill, she tumbled and got stuck. I just flipped her back over and she ran off again

my hatch dates for the 2 boxes were 2/19 and 4/1. it takes 2 days to get to me from the hatchery, so I got them 2/21 and 4/3. HUGE varieties, lots of fancy breeds in this more recent one, I expect because people are panic ordering all the layers now. but I got a bunch of feather foots, and...

the large surprise box from Cackle is your best bet to get all of the above. I specifically requested no ducks in this recent box, but others that got theirs the same day got ducks, some got turkeys as well. Expect a wait at this time though, they are selling a LOT of chicks. I placed the order...

I think she's a buff brahma bantam

and actually...that was from my second box, with a hatch date of 4/1. I had a huge variety in the 2/19 box posted above too, including 3 turkey poults and 3 ducklings. From that box I kept a bunch... salmon faverolle, speckled sussex, golden duckwing phoenix trio, blue Americauna, GL...

there's a facebook group specifically for cackle hatchery's surprise boxes This is what I identified out my my 51 surprise box chicks I received: 1 Buff laced Polish 2 Silver Laced Polish 1 crazy toppy 2 turkens (one black, one buff/white) 2 light brahma LF 2 white Cochin (LF) 2 blue cochin...

Is chick C tiny compared to the others? or same size...if same size, maybe partridge cochin?

the hen in this article seems similar to our girl's situation. We already feed in a high sided bowl, so that will help, and the water should be easy enough. We will keep her trimmed and hope for the best.

wow...thankfully my pullet is not nearly that severe of a crossbeak. She just is a little offset. I know in parrots, you can keep the beak trimmed enough for them to still eat normally, so we are working on making her friendly enough that we will be able to keep her beak ground down. We will...

I have a 6 week old chick with cross beak, pretty noticeable, although she seems to be eating and drinking pretty well so far...any tips for keeping her alive and healthy?

you are NOT kidding... we saw 3 day old pekins at tractor supply and I don't even remember ours being that small...a month ago. they are full arm fulls now

still fighting this problem, but for now they are getting flock raiser in the house at night and duckling crumble during the day outside

I've been away from computer for several days...I have read them though! we opted to have them outside during the day and bring them in at night for a little while longer. They are doing really well and LOVE having the extra space outside and access to a pool (which has multiple rocks and they...

Thanks.. we opted to bring them in at night and have them out during the day, when its in the high 70s, they are doing great. they can easily get in and out of the water, and have been. in a couple more weeks, we'll revisit leaving them out, it'll be in the 60s at night by April

My ducklings are 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 weeks old, 2 Pekins, a Welsh Harlequin, a Rouen and a Runner. They have outgrown their indoor cage and I've prepped an old dog run outside with a small kidie pool. They have spent the last 3 days out there all day. I'm in CEntral Arizona (Phoenix Area)...
