    My banty just hatched two, we dont have a banty roo anymore so I wasnt sure what to expect. Well now they are going on 4 weeks old. I figure that the daddy is my white rock.

    mallard ducklings

    Mine are just about 4 weeks also and they too are all just brown. I also was wondering, my father in law used to raise mallards for years and he has been making me put vasoline over there ears "to keep the mites out" once a week. He said he had lost two flocks from this and learned his lesson...

    Goslings weak and dying off fast
