    Pekin Duck Club!

    Are females usually bigger? When do they start to lay? I got them around May 1, so they probably around 4 months old?

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Can I ask a really dumb question? How do you tell if your Pekins are male or female? I have two, one is a bit larger than the other and their calls are different. One sounds almost like a goose but neither "quack" persay. I haven't named them because I don't know if they are males or females!

    EE laid one egg two weeks ago, now nothing?

    Golden Laced Wyandotte chick-very small?

    I got a mix of chicks on April 4th from Southern States. One was a GLW. I know for sure the other 6 were delivered on the Wednesday before so they were about 4-5 days old when we got them. The GLW was much smaller, so I assumed she was hatched later (the one lady said they had deliveries on...

    Hi! New member from KY

    They were sold at Southern States as Aracunas but I'm not sure they are or if they are full blood? . I don't know much about chickens aside from your normal Cobb and Ross commercial birds so I have no clue how to know if they are full or not. I have to say the one Aracuna/Easter...
