    Which is which

    These are my welsh harlequin ducklings. I was told they are male and female. At this age I can't tell which is which. Any help is appreciated.

    Hen or Roo?

    This cute little peeper hatched the good old fashioned way on our little farm, June 14. Mom is a Brown Leghorn, Dad is a Rhode Island Red. So.....Hen or Roo? Any ideas?

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    5 eggs out of 7 hens that are laying. My two new hens should start laying in the next month or two, so I'm looking forward to my count going up.

    white food grade 5 gallon buckets for nesting boxes?

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?
