    What breed?

    I purchased 6 Welsh Harlequin ducklings that hatched May 2nd. I picked them up at 3 days old. One of them is not looking like the rest lol It’s almost a white and light grey. I don’t mind if it’s not a WH, but curious as to what breed it could be? Little buggers are so fast I had to corner...

    Runners vs Welsh Harlequin

    Hello, We currently have chickens, but looking into getting back into ducks. More for fun and some eggs. I can’t decide between Indian Runners and Welsh Harlequin. Eggs are a bonus, but we get plenty from our chickens. I would stay temperament, cold harshness, and willingness to hatch their...

    New hens not laying

    I acquired some new hens from my local Hutterite colony. They are year old Babcocks. I picked them up in the evening. By morning I had 15 eggs from 20 birds. Very drastically we are now down to 2-3 eggs a day. It’s been 3 weeks. I was fully aware I was getting year old birds that have lived in...

    Cheap incubator lol

    So I did it. I bought the cheap incubator made in China. It was a deal at auction and thought why not? My other incubator that I’m use to running is the 360 nature right. So I’ve run this new incubator for a few days so I could fiddle with it and make any adjustments needed. I do have a...

    Broody hen incubator chicks

    Hello, I have a new broody hen as of yesterday. I just started lockdown on my incubator today. I’ve hatched lots in my incubator and lots with broody hens. However, I’ve never tried sneaking incubator chicks under a broody hen. If this hen stays put on her nest for another 5 days (to hatch and...

    Broody hen and duck

    Hello, I wasn’t sure if I post this in the incubator form or behaviour/egg laying form. I have a hen that has been broody for a few weeks. She has sat tight on the nest so I gave her some fertilized eggs. Now, the last 2 days one of my Muscovy hens has decided to join her, cramping both of...

    Silly duck question

    I’m brand new to ducks so don’t mind my silly question here. We just got our first ducks, 6 Muscovy hens. They came from our neighbours, neighbours up at their lake. So all I know about them is that the 4 younger hens were hatched this spring/summer, by the other two hens. They all are the same...

    What breed is my roo?

    Hello, I hatched this guy in my incubator. I tried to keep track of who came from what egg, but it turned out to be impossible as a bunch hatched at night. So I’m not sure what egg he hatched from. Some of the eggs I had in the incubator were Sapphire Super blues, Crested Creambars, and some...

    EE gender

    So not the greatest photos on my part, but can anyone sex this EE fir me? I can always grab better pics if it’s too hard to tell. Should be about 12 weeks old. Dad was BCM and Mom an EE. Does have a triple pea comb, but for 12 weeks I feel should have more of a wattle for a male.
