i know this isnt about chickens but i dont know where else to post this. i have to get rid of 2 rabbits. my wifes in school and we just dont have the time to take care of them properly with everything else we have going on. is anyone interested? i could supply a cage bottle and feeder for each one.
i cant tell you that mt hatchery doesnt make mistakes but tractor supply definately does. i've seen birds mislabled there all the time. their asst ducks are always nothing but mallards and i've seen the wrong signs up all the time for chicks. personally i dont care what breed the bird is as long...
thanks all, it was pretty exciting, most of them will be mutts but i have the chance for pure cayugas or black runners. i'm hoping a few have a good amount of white from the pekins to diversify the look of my flock abit. our pekins are the friendliest too so i want some of their genes in the pool
so my ducks are hatching out about 2 days late. the first one finally busted out but a big chunk of the shell is stuck on his stomach. is this something i need to worry about? also how long is it normal for the others to start following suit
they rock on occasion, 2 more have pipped and the humidity is plenty high. i'm using a little giant bator. all eggs were candled throughout the incubation period. only 1 was infertile. all the others grew well and the airsacks are about the size they should be
drake feather will take several months to develop. the best way to tell is by their quack, drakes are quieter and have a raspy sound, with a whistle to it while the females are loud......very loud and louder until they mature. if you have cayugas i noticed my males heads had more green to them...
i have a mixed flock and just recently downsized but these eggs are from either pekin,cayuga or indian runner hens and the drakes are either cayuga or runner
