Thank you all! It’s nice to know what they are!

Here’s the best pic I could find of the brown one standing up. Thank you all for your responses!

Thank you! She’s a sweetie. Her name is Candace 😊

The white duck almost has a greenish-gray bill. She has quite a personality!

I’ve had the black and white ducks since June and I really have no idea what breed they are. I was leaning towards Cayuga or Indian Runner. Not even the slightest clue on the brown duck (she’s a year old and this photo is her summer color). The brown one used to lay eggs, until her sibling got...

Thank you! I already have a beautiful rooster, so I will find these three new homes.

Hi there! I’m so excited to find this thread! A friend called me about 4 weeks ago and said he had three young chickens that have just been hanging out in his porch. He brought them over and they are doing great, except two of them refuse to roost in the coop with the other chickens at night...

I went out early this morning and checked his crop. It felt empty. I’m at a loss. Again, he acts fine and is eating and drinking normally. The noisy breathing is predominantly when he’s running around or upset

I went out to get a video so y’all could hear it, but I can’t get it to add to my post. I have noticed that it seems to be worse when he is active. His breath does have a weird, almost fishy/dirty pond smell. His crop seems normal, but then again it’s not often I get to hold him to check it...

My Russian Orloff rooster, about a year and three months old, developed a very loud rattling sound when he breathes. He’s had it for a bit now and I can’t seem to find any real info on what it may be. He acts fine, eats well, drinks plenty of water, chases all the hens, and crows just fine. I’ve...

I thought he was a Welsummer, but his legs are gray so I guess that’s out. Any ideas?

This is my bantam frizzle rooster. Couple problems here that I’m not sure about. #1) As you can see in the photos, he has considerable loss of feathers. The ones on his neck are just the shaft of the feather that’s left- they feel like wire. The ones on his sides and wings are just plain...

Sorry about that. Added photos

Thank you all so much for your replies! Cockerel it is. I really don't need another one, but it is what it is. I already have an Ameraucana roo (he's the boss), a Buff Orp roo (shy newcomer within the last two months), and a bantam frizzle roo (gets picked on all the time, doesn't fuss with the...
