    Cream Legbars, Bielefelders, or Swedish Flower Hens?

    On your SFH picks I don't believe 7 is one, it belongs in the autosexing breeds, but I have forgotten the number of the one I think is SFH in next group, let me go look (bg). BRB.

    Cream Legbars, Bielefelders, or Swedish Flower Hens?

    Did you put the color coding leg bands on each chick or did they come with them? The chipmunk marked ones are the Bielefelders and CLL. I tried counting the color or bands, but could not keep up, but think they are key to which are which. The SFHs will not look chipmunk marked. 1 and 2 are...

    Young/mature ducks vs day-old?

    I researched your question some on the internet and there is a lot of material out there about Muscovy ducks and their habits. Like you mentioned, if they do breed with another duck breed, the resulting ducklings are sterile and called moulards or mules. People love their Muscovies, and from...

    Young/mature ducks vs day-old?

    I have four different breeds of ducks and got them all as ducklings. They formed their flock and are quite calm and friendly, love treats, etc. I think you and family would enjoy Ancona ducks, they lay very well, can have colored eggs (not every duck does though) are quite calm and very...

    Rouen Duck thread

    With their first molt at approximately 4 1/2 months old our two Rouens got their drake coloring in and acquired their drake curl. My Swedish Blue drake got his curl at about this same age too. I saw a start to his at 3 months, but just a little turn up .

    I got my eggs on FB at Rare Breeds Sales and Auction (I think the board is called). Worth being on FB just for all the chicken groups. There are gold laced advertised on there about every week. I got mine from CA. I asked the seller if he would exchange out a few buff laced for gold laced...

    Nice chick. I have one or two from a Tolbunt project that the breeder was attempting and one is turning out very pretty. Not Tolbunt, but a very pretty, maybe gold laced, but has dark head and not as much lacing, at least yet, as a gold laced would. I post a picture of him/her, and it was just...

    Very cute. Are they Tolbunt? I have never seen a Tolbunt chick before.

    Rouen Duck thread

    Well, today I would say that both Rouens are hens (ducks) and any bodies guess on the Swedish. I thought for sure I had a pair or Rouens by there quacks, but unless the males develop their head color much later than getting their teal feathers on the wings, they are both hens. I am new to...
