I hope the pekim isn't a boy. It sucks for the Campbell. We have chickens so we can't have stakes with them

How can you tell on the cambell?

I have 2 ducks who both supposedly hatched April 27th (2 months old?) The white one is a pekin and the brown one is a khaki Cambell. Or that's what they were sold to me as. Can you tell the gender at this age or is it still too early? And what signs should I look for? Thanks!

Mine did that today. I just don't want it to hurt them in the future. I think I heard somewhere that they can get sick if they get too cold

Yes. I was just concerned because I can 100% tell that their back feathers are soaked. Theyre fine today as in acting normal, they're still a little bit wet. The coop door is open for them to go in as they please. I'm super worried about my silkies. I have 2 and they do the same thing as the big...

I wouldn't be as worried if they didnt stand out in the rain!

I'm in Alabama where the temperature is around 46°F and it's currently raining. All of the chickens like to walk around and stand out in the rain, even when it's this cold. Should I be worried about them?

Thank you ♡

I feel that prevention is key.

And my stepmother had the nerve to tell someone behind my back that I'm not very good with farm animals lmao. I honestly think chickens are just hard to fix once they've been sick

Thank you ♡ I just hope that i can do better with any future problems.

They're just small little white mites on her eyes all that I could see. We ended up putting her out of her misery because she kept declining I didn't know what the issue was. I still don't know what the issue is. Thank you all for your input I appreciate it greatly.

I didn't get it in her eyes or even around her face. It might just be her time to go.

It might just be her time. Thank you all. I'll see how she is in the morning and I'll update.

This is how she has been since this morning
