    Blue Runner Duck Male or Female??

    I have a blue runner that was sexed as a female from a hatchery. However, this duck is extremely quiet. When I pick the duck up it barely makes a sound, while all my other ducks quack loudly. Today I noticed tail feathers which have a slight curl to them. This duck is currently 13 weeks old. Is...

    When can ducklings sleep outside?

    No, they don't have any supplemental heat. I'll put a thermometer out tonight and see how low it gets. What temperature would be the lowest it could go and still be fine for the ducklings? 50°??

    When can ducklings sleep outside?

    I only have an ecoglow that I used for the ducklings when they were smaller.. Heat lamps scare me too! Lol. I think I'll just wait until all of the ducklings are fully feathered. Hopefully no more than 2 weeks haha.

    When can ducklings sleep outside?

    Thank you!! The 8 week old is the only one that is fully feathered, and 7 week old not far behind.. So maybe I'll have to wait another week or two for the 6 week olds. I just can't wait to get them out of my house lol

    When can ducklings sleep outside?

    I have 4 ducklings, ranging in age from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. I let them outside in a pen all day and then bring them back inside my house at night to sleep. The night temperatures are in the 40s. Do you think they would all be fine sleeping in the coop now or would it be better to wait?

    Blue (Splash) Ameraucana Cockerel or Pullet?

    Good! I'm glad, she is my favorite one. She looks way different from the rest of my flock & I was worried because her hackle feathers are a lot longer. She is the only Ameraucana so that is probably why she looks so different!

    Thanks for your input! I am very much relieved now :) I was hoping it was a pullet but she just looks so different from the other pullets!

    Blue (Splash) Ameraucana Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hi! I have a 10 week old Blue (Splash) Ameraucana that I recieved from Meyer Hatchery. This bird has always been the runt and worried me greatly since it was so small compared to all the rest of the chicks. It has since had a big growth spurt, although it is still a lot smaller than all of the...
