    Duck eggs... one hard, one soft?

    My Muscovy started laying eggs last week, and they were all coming out with a hard shell. Yesterday I went up, she had laid one hard shell and one soft shell. At least I think it was hers, we only have one egg laying duck and the rest of the flock is chickens. The eggs are about the same size...

    I have a dark Brahma that was supposed to be a pullet, but I’m thinking based on the coloring that it’s a cockerel. However, I don’t see pointed hackle/saddle feathers. The other one, I know is a pullet, but I have no idea what breed she is. Or how old she is. I do know she lays small/medium...

    Lavender Orpingtons - is there an easier way to tell gender?

    That helps a lot actually. I think the oldest are probably 10-12 weeks old. They are all different ages.

    Lavender Orpingtons - is there an easier way to tell gender?

    I keep looking for the saddle feathers but maybe they are just too young yet to come in. Their comb and wattles are bigger and red which is why I think they are cockerel, but that’s the only sign I could tell right now. I’ve just read that they could be more difficult to sex then other breeds...

    Lavender Orpingtons - is there an easier way to tell gender?

    There are quite a bit of males, from what I can tell. The woman I bought from said that about half are males. Thank you for that information! I did not know that. If I do decide to breed them I will remember this.

    I don’t have the room to separate... I do plan on getting rid of some of them because I don’t need that many roosters!

    Lavender Orpingtons - is there an easier way to tell gender?

    A few weeks ago, I picked up about 40 Orpingtons from someone on Craigslist. Most of which are Lavendar’s, a couple black, and a couple blue/white (best guess) and black/white. Is there an easily way of telling if it’s a cockerel or pullet aside from comb/waddle growth? They are all mixed ages...
