Anybody ever cross breed these with Silver Sebrights? Pics? Picture of Black cross with any other old English bantam?

Just getting back on the site here is a picture

Yea I agree with you. I watched a YouTube video yesterday on dubbing and I must say I felt very uneasy about it. I was just curious of how common it is to do that to the birds.

I wouldn’t worry about temp this time of yr. I’m in Tennessee and been hatching them all summer long without using a heat lamp at night but I do keep them in a brooder for about 3 weeks. I put them in a small pen during the day to let them play.

So I was at the sale barn today selling some birds and I was selling some of my BBs and one of my roosters was dubbed. It had a lot of people talking. I got my BBs last year at another sale barn and the rooster was like that when I bought them. What’s yalls opinion on dubbing birds?

Has anybody used any other automatic egg turner in their little giant incubator? It measures 15”x15”. I bought one for one of my incubators that was $47 off eBay and it works great but I’m looking for a cheaper one to go in my other one.

I have over 50 birds and half of those are ducks. From my experience I have to round them up 90% of the time. Chickens no problem but ducks don’t just sleepy at night. They will lay and feed. I also think it depends on the type of ducks also. MALLArds like to stay out but my Swedish Blues, Khaki...

I always keep my coop door open. My run is enclosed and secure. I like to leave my coop open so my ducks can lay and eat. If your run is secure I don’t see why you couldn’t leave the coop door open.

Don’t guess it worked out? Where are the pictures?

Here is another pic

This one on the left it’s tail end is different from my pekins

Yes it’s a mallard. I have another but it’s huge compared to my other ones even my one yr old ducks. It’s not even three months old. It white like a Pekin but a lot bigger.

Update!

I hatch them. My Mom and Step Dad have a ton of sebright eggs.
