    no eggs

    I was getting an egg a day from my 2 female pekins. Last week I took in 2 more females and added 2 month old female ducklings to the pen. And now my girls aren't laying.

    gender help please

    I bought these three standard bronze chicks in march. I think I have 2 males and a female, but would love a second opinion. #1 #2 #3 my fave, it follows me around. Other two could care less what I do.

    Do you think they are standard or bantams? The black chick in the back is a standard of the same age.

    frizzle help

    Can anyone help me figure out if these are male or female? And what breed frizzle I have? The one in front is sitting on the side of the container, so it appears to be the same size as the other one. But its actually only about half as big as the other. Both where born in February.
