    Can chickens eat duck/geese feed?

    Sorry to revive the old thread, but i just got ducklings and they are currently housed with my newly hatched chicks. Why should the ducklings not be fed medicated feed?

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    Agreed, i would not want to breed her (if she is a “her”) but i have friends who would love blue eggs and dont care about auto sexing or don’t have roosters so i’m sure i could rehome her no prob if my perfect boy ends up staying around. I too am curious to see how ‘red’ develops. I guess my...

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    I hope at least this. I would want to contribute in a positive way and not in a confusing way when i can, especially in an autosexing breed. I just hope he has a personality as cute as he is. If others are correct and all other 5 are pullets, then maybe with 5 sisters he will learn to be a...

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    I was thinking the same thing. It’ll depend on personality and how obnoxious he is as i am technically not allowed but i am on about 1/3 acre and my neighborhood is pretty casual so as long as hes not entirely disruptive, he can stay. I was leaning male for red based on the profile coloring, but...

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    That would be great. 2 roos and 4 hens would be awesome. Is there any other way to tell as they get a few days older or do i just have to wait for puberty and development of secondary characteristics?

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    So you think purple is a female? Im 100% certain (as much as a newbie can be) that green is a male, but I go back forth with red and purple watching them run around the brooder. I can try to get better pictures if there’s something you want to see better. Thank you for your input.

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    Thank you again, with the last 3 (one lone egg still in the incubator, but im thinking it won’t hatch im just giving it a few more days to be safe), it was a little more challenging to me. T=Yes, they are purebred cream legbars, at least that’s what i purchased them as. Hens on the property are...

    Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

    HI, Thanks in advance for help. This is my first experience with legbars and autosexing chicks, I have about 10 barnyard mix pullets/chicks and know that is a waiting game so i thought i’d give it a go with an autosexing breed. I’m not that patient lol. I bought 7 hatching eggs from a local farm...

    Marek’s Disease, and Veterinarians not vaccinating chicks…

    From a veterinary perspective, asking a small animal veterinarian to vaccinate backyard chickens is akin to asking a surgeon to manage your irritable bowel disease. And that to me is malpractice. Just because people choose to keep chickens in the city does not mean that I am obligated to treat...

    I accidentally cracked an egg while candling its on day 17 or 18

    Hi!! I did the same thing at about the same time. I was placing them back into the incubator this morning after candling and plan to start lockdown tomorrow. Can’t see membrane and am terrified of re-candling because im clumsy and tired (worked a 12 hour shift last night and got home at 9am this...
