    Silkie wings???

    I bought both the white and buff silkie. Buff is sizzle and white is smooth. They are about 6 months old. I am wondering if the white one is starting to get streamers. She has a flat comb and stands like a hen though. Both chickens are healthy. I think the buff has a better shape than the white.

    Are my welsh Harlequin ducks purebreds?

    Your duck is beautiful! I love her dark beak! That is my favorite thing about the welsh hens, is the slate beak!

    I don'tknow anything about ducks. These are my first. I tried to find information online about showing them. My 8 ywar old entered them into the fsir and we were one of the only ducks that didn't place. What are judges looking for. What is good conformation?

    I bought welsh Harlequin ducks from a hatchery. They were hatched April 11th. The female has a yellow beak. Is she not supposed to have a slate beak? I'll try attach a picture

    Vent sexing

    That is so upsetting. If the female turns out to be male i will be mad. Never buying from cackle hatchery again. They could offer vent sexing on all breeds. It makes no sense. I hoped for at least two females. That is why i ordered 6.

    So i just sexed these ducklings and 1/6 is female!! And im not even 100% she is female. I saw a penis on 5. They didnt offer sexing on rare ducks probably because they keep the females. I'm mad. Why else sex all ducks but them. Im upset.
