What is the neck hangy thing to sex chicks? I need to get some more ISA Brown chicks, but they come to the local farm store and are maybe a few days to a week old by that point. How do I sex them then?
Thank you for the info! You have been a great help! I've never had ducks before, so taking on these rescues is a new experience for me! Right now I have them eating meat bird crumbles and scratch grains, same of which I feed my turkeys, with some veggies mixed in during the day until they are...
I have recently taken in three ducks. One looks like a male mallard, but the other is brown with a green head, so I don't know if the other is actually a mallard or not. Then the third one I have no clue. Maybe a mix of some kind? Help!
This is a better side view of him. I guess I could deal with a mix of a mix, just wish I knew what he was made out of!! It would help the kid who wants to take him as his 4-H project too. I'm at a loss!
