the bigger one on the right is a drake or a male the smaller one is a hen or a female. congratulations when you think the hen has dissapeared she is sitting on eggs and will hatch in 5 weeks.

i have a golden comet and her first egg was about that size. Her egg now only fit into a jumbo egg carton.

i use DE ( diatomaceous earth ) i mix it in with my shavings. i also am now mixing it in with my feed. we have alot less flies the ducklings love to eat the flies. that also helps out.. the are not in a coop all day as mine free range with their mothers.

I have a friend that only feeds wheat grains.. check your craigslist for farmers selling whole grains or cracked grains for sale you will find it much cheaper.

the white one is a male and the others look like hens.
