    Magpie x Ancona sexing?

    Thanks so much! In my experience with ducklings, if they act like a rowdy boy, they're a girl and she is sooooo naughty. Her name is Valentina for now but if she ends up being a drake, I think Valentino is very cute as well. ♥️

    Help! Toddler v Duckling

    It's still alive and I've been spraying it with warm water to keep things dry and the yolk seems to be retracting into the abdomen. It's moving and twitching which I assume is it still trying to zip? If anyone has tips they'd be appreciated since I can't stay up all night misting every 30 mins!

    Outside chicks at 3 weeks

    I have 3 chicks that are 1 week old, we experience power outages frequently in my area due to snowstorms. We have a generator outside for our chicken coop heater and winter lights. Could I potentially put them out there with my flock and keep them separated but visible so there isn't fighting?
