    at what age will I be able to tell gender in pekins and mallards?

    i dont know about the mallards except that at some point when they get feathers they will look very different. but the pekins develop a drake tail around 4-6 months old. that was the only way i could tell. it's a feather that curls up and it is in their tail feathers. it's only one and you will...

    bare spots on hen

    I have a chicken with a bare spot - meaning no feathers. i first thought she was just being "used" to much by the rooster, but now she has no feathers and she quit laying all together. she's buff orpington. someone once told me that was a sign of mites but i see nothing crawling on her. is there...

    Duck breed question.... Cayuga or Rouen???

    i would bet they are cayuga mix as my cayuga babies were black with yellow bellies - but they were black as night from the beginning - not brown. i bet they arent pure. but they are sweet.
