My khakis are all hens and have dark heads. Some khakis arw darker than others. I will have to upload pics. Mine are1 year old.

I put my younger three KC right in with my yearling Rouens, they made two laps around the chicken yard , with the KCs in hot pursuit, then all was well. They follow the larger Rouens everywhere. I have a Rouen Drake on order for pick up on 4/27; so I ordered another duck for delivery the same...

My three kc hens are still fairly a loof at a year old. One is a bit more stand offish than the other two. My two Rouens , love to be hand feed. They were not that way when small. Now they are " I want it out of your hand, not on the ground" girls. The kc still prefer treats on the ground ...

Looks about 8 weeks. Mine did not need a heat source at that time. No where near as needy as chicks. Actually they can overheat. If you feel you "must" have heat, put it way up high. But they really don'tt need it at all. They have down under those feathers.. My khakis are not as friendly as my...

The only date Icould get naked necks , was while I was on vacation, so I changed to Amberlinks. Will try Turkens next year. The Amberlinks are real pretty, and top notch layers. In the brooder hutch outside. Running in and out from under their heat plate. All happy, I will throw a cover over...

No plans for the Turkens yet, but my Rooster is a Bearded BUff Polish. I think that would make a cool naked neck! If you got to Premier 1 website, go to heat plates. This is a natural way to keep chicks warm. My 12 chicks last spring went right to it. I bought the cover and waterer too. Will...

I ordered a Rouen Drake from my local feed store. Plus a replacement speckled Sussex pullet, and 3 naked neck pullets. They will all go together in my mixed flock. I have had people beg for fertile eggs from my Rouens and Khaki Campbell's, now I will have them. Plus some extra strange birds in...

I have 30 chickens, mixed flock. I also have 5 ducks, 3 KC, and 2 Roeuns. All get along beautifully.

Stick to Roeun, and pekin

I don't think color has anything to do with it. They are just good layers.

Don"t know about that. Lots of greens,corn, oats, meal worms, and they love scrambled eggs.

I don't understand the different "taste" or smell. I think they have a buttery smell and taste. I have admit I had never eaten duck eggs before, and was a little bit scared, but they bake beautifully, the rise is amazingly high. Now I eat them like I have my whole life. My ducks lay in my...

I have 30 chickens, including two roosters..with 2 Roeun Ducks and three Khaki Campbell's. I get 4 to 5 duck eggs everyday. Plus with most all of my chickens finished with their molt, and started laying again this week, I collected 18 chicken eggs and 5 duck eggs yesterday. Half my flock will be...

I agree, NO potato peels for sure! If they turn green from light they are poisonous! I do not give peelings at all. I give whole bananas, have to pick up the skin afterwards. No body eats that. Whole cukes, anything from my garden, that is split, soft etc. No eggplant though...can" t have it! I...

All my kitchen scraps are fed immediately, to my flock. I wash ALL my egg shells both duck and chicken. I put them in one those square ice cream tubs. When the tub is full, I bake them in the microwave. Careful not to burn them. When cool, I crush them all. The flock, ducks too gobble them up...

So 2 years ago, when I go my first chicks, I had plenty of room to do what I wanted coop wise, so I thought I would be effecient. I ran pvc for my watering system, drip system,made fancy gravity fed feeders, spent over $1000 on my first coop and run. The coop is 8'w 8'l 6'h and the enclosed run...

I have the brite tap waterers, not cheap, but excellent! Bought just the waterer, bought my own coolers. Bought 2 gal igloos where I work at Lowe's for ten bucks. A friend bought a 10 gal igloo and broke the tap. I took it off his hands for 10 bucks. I had too many issues with dripping nipples...

I paid 4.95 each for my ducklings. I bought at my local feed store.
