    Angel wing? Cayuga ducklings

    I'm new to raising ducks, I have 4 of them. 3 cayuga ducks and a welsh harlequin. They are about 6-7 weeks old now. They are still pretty downy but feathers are coming in. My welsh harlequins wing feathers are really right to her body and the cayugas are kind of sticking out and up. I am worried...

    Not to ruffle feathers, but why chick food?

    Shipping on feed is incredibly ridiculous. I have been using organic/non gmo non medicated chick starter for my ducklings and add brewers yeast to it for the extra niacin. They gobble it up and are very healthy and growing every day it seems!

    I ordered from mcmurray hatchery and I don't believe they carry cream brabanter. I had to google it, I've never heard of them. Pretty cute! This is my first year raising chickens, thank you for the info! I keep hearing people talk about rounded or pointed feathers but I'm not sure how to tell...

    If it is a roo, what is a fair asking price for it? I will keep it another four or five weeks I think just to make sure.

    Thanks guys. I was assuming it would be because it was a free chick with a hatchery order. It's also very sassy and a bit aggressive. I'm new to chickens but none of my other birds have it out for me like this guy lol

    Give me pictures of your chickens and I'll try to sex them

    Thanks! I figured it was going to be a roo. It was the free chick with my order. It is pretty skittish and it doesn't like me at all. Makes it easier to accept cockerel if that's what it is lol

    Cocci in ducklings??

    I got my first order of ducklings today. A cayuga trio and a pair of welsh harlequins. 4 of the 5 are doing really well. My welsh harlequin male is not. He has bloody feces and that sorta haunched over posture, holding his wings up. He seems very uncomfortable and lethargic. He has been eating...
