    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    So I got 5 KC hens about 5 weeks ago and they're all starting to quack, except one who its still rather squeaky in the noises she makes. She's the one on the right with the lighter bill in the photo. That caramel bill also has me concerned the test are still dark greyish. What do you guys think...

    Not sure what kind this little guy is, I'm hoping you all might.

    Oh yeah! She's all grown up now, and should start laying soon. I caught it quick enough that it wasn't a real problem thankfully! I'm honestly not even certain which chick it was now that they're big. I am only in my second year of backyard flocks, and I feel like I've dealt with more stuff...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    I managed to get her to let me take a couple pictures this morning. Question for other KC owners, has anyone had ducklings with some pink on their feet, and yellow wings around their eyes? I just got my ducklings, and one of the little girls has pink splotches on her little brown feet, some...

    It's all good, I would NEVER try to sex a chicken, while I've learned a lot about them, and handling them, and caring for them, the closest I ever intend to get to vent sexing was caring for my prolapsed chick a few months ago. I'm leaving that stuff to the pros.

    I'm not sure why you're telling me this, I'm not a beginner and I never implied I'd tried to sex Peanut or that I intended to. I know that there is a 90% chance that Peanut is a boy because he was filler. I thankfully knew that there would be some filler boys (though I did not expect this many)...

    Thanks for the info guys. I think we're going to keep Peanut and only give away his brothers. He's such a cute little guy, and I think it will be good to have a Roo in my flock considering where we live.

    I'm trying to figure out what breed this little roo is. He's one of the poor sweet peanuts that came with my ducks and while I've found a home for all unexpected 7 of them I'm considering keeping one so my flock would have a roo. However I'd like to know what breed he is before I make the final...

    Not Sure if You've Got a Pullet or a Cockerel? Click here! thread 3

    I have what I can only assume are red sex links from TSC and one of them has different tail feathers than the rest. That said her comb is smaller than her sisters' but the pointy tail has me concerned so I thought I'd ask all of you. I think they're around 4.5 months old.

    Adult chicken is super unhappy about my new chicks

    Thanks Blooie, I'll definitely tri the scratch. I hadn't thought of that at all. I had tried to give her treats to quiet her. We have had a pretty serious predator issue over the past year. We live basically the woods so we've got every predator you can think of. While or coop/run is pretty...

    Adult chicken is super unhappy about my new chicks

    I think I will try again in the morning and move them in before I let the big girl out. I will have more time to watch things tomorrow and to keep an eye out for predators.

    Adult chicken is super unhappy about my new chicks

    Oklay, Just insisting that they need to get familiar does not help me solve the issue at hand. I am aware that they need to eventually all wind up together but I do not want them to be in danger of being eaten in the process. Which if she continues to cluck herself ragged they will be.

    Adult chicken is super unhappy about my new chicks

    I guess my big concern is that we live in an area with a LOT of predators. There is a reason that we only have one chicken and one duck from last year left. I worry that her being super loud like that is going to attract things that are going to kill/eat all my sweet girls, I mean she was...

    Adult chicken is super unhappy about my new chicks

    So I have a batch of little ones from tsc that are fully feathered but still only maybe 1/3 the size of my lone remaining girl from last year (she has a duckfriend to cuddle her at night). Because the little ones are now too big to spend all their time in the brooder, I moved them out to a run...

    HELP! Baby Chick Vent Issues

    I just posted about a similar issue in the emergency thread so I'm going to keep an eye here too.

    Constipated? Chick appears to be in distress help?!

    One of my newish chicks, I've had them for about 2 weeks, appears to be in distress. Whenever she poos she chirps loudly and it tends to take a lot longer than it should. 5 to 10 seconds sometimes instead of basically instant. She seems to be tucking her tail. And looking her over today her vent...
