I'm not sure, but I think you have to have more posts before you can post pictures. They keep the exact number hush-hush to prevent spammers...

How old are your ducks? Males should be getting a curled tail feather by 3 or so months, if I remember correctly. You can also voice sex them; boys are raspy and girls are LOUD. This page has sound clips of male and female ducks for comparison, as well as a few other tips for sexing ducks: http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/artquacks.htm OH, this is only for Mallard-derived breeds, NOT Muscovies!

Does anyone here have isbars??

I don't actually have them, but Blue Isbars are definitely on my list! They just don't make my top 10. Of course, I have way too many top picks to fill ten in... But I could do a top 50! Or, well, probably...

I have 6 Blue Isbar eggs in the incubator. Only day 3, but very excited!

Cookie's chicks were due to hatch today, but as usual all were out of the shell by this morning. I moved the happy family into the rabbit cage. She started going broody & stole a bunch of eggs. After a week I removed the clears & 7 remained. All 7 hatched!

Kittydoc -The roo is Cogburn's son- an early bloomer! Started crowing & mating the hens at 3.5 mo old. Now it's confirmed that he's doing the job. Tell Cogburn he's a grandpa!

As usual, DD picked her fav. This time it's an EE (came from blue egg). Either an EE-orp or a Legbar-orp.
In the bright sunlight it has a brown hue.


Here are the other 6 chicks.
4 are black orps.
The black one with the pink beak is the other EE. Pretty sure it's a legbar-orp mix.
The yellow/white chick is from Princess- Lay-a.



pic below: What do you guys think? Does it look like a male head-spot? (I believe CCL hen x Orp roo combo makes a sex-link, so only a male offspring could get the barring from the mother.)



Last 2 pics are DD's fav.

How precious!!! I named my black orp cockerel after Cogburn, adore him! That sure looks like a sexlink spot on your baby, can't wait to see if you are right.
