    Hen or rooster

    I'm relatively new to chicken sexing so I may not be spot on here, but the ones with the big ol' red combs indicate roosters. So I'd say it looks like Agathe, Anton, Alfred and Augustin are the boys. Someone with more experience will come along soon I'm sure, and give you a better idea. :)

    Is this one looking like a rooster?

    Its dad is a barred rock, the mum is an aracana. I'm not sure what colour she is though.

    Is this one looking like a rooster?

    I'm a little suspicious of this chick's behaviour. It is 3 months old now, a barred rock/araucana. Is it looking like a rooster? There is some colour in its face.

    Broody hen now has chicks. Now what?

    Congrats on your chick! In my experience (which is only 1 broody hatch!) the hen will continue to sit for a few days to allow any other eggs to hatch. Yes just make sure they have access to chick crumble and water (in a shallow dish with stones in it so the chicks can't drown). Double check that...

    Is this normal for a muscovy?

    Here we go, all wrapped up. I hope this fixes it, poor duck.

    Thank you for your help! I've got a few threads here to look at now, hubby is home to help me wrap her wings.

    Is this normal for a muscovy?

    Oh no! Ok I'll research that. Is it from extra calcium as a duckling?

    Is this normal for a muscovy?

    I'm fairly new to muscovy ducks. I've had chooks for years now so I'm familiar with keeping them. I've been given this muscovy, from a friend of mine. I'm guessing it's a female as it's showing good wing development and has very little colour on its face? What I'd like to know is, is there...

    My eggs are piping and I'm not sure if I should help or not.

    Don't worry! Hatching takes its good sweet time. Mine always take aaages to hatch, 24 hours from first pip. Remember there is so much happening inside the egg at this stage, even though it looks like nothing is going on outside.

    Something seems wrong

    How strange! I'm sorry I can't offer any advice, probably a good idea to check them for mites though. Good luck :)

    My chicky-ducks!

    Just thought I'd share pics of my chicks and ducklings in their brooding box. Thought it would be fun to make them a big house with rooms so that they can explore. The ducklings are very inquisitive, they're enjoying having the space to roam. My kids think it's great too lol! I have 3 little...
