I'm not sure if this is in the right section or not so if not I'm sorry.I am wondering if it is possible to tell if a hen will lay a green egg or not,before they lay.If a chick comes out of a green egg and turns out to be a hen will it lay green eggs or is it not for sure?
I have 2 lavender...
Thanks for the reply!! I am going to the feed store tomorrow so I will get some food specially for ducks or gamebird food. I have a nice size plastic tub with fresh water for them to play in I will also try to give them less scraps so I can make sure they get more of the food.
Ok.....I take it back,I just checked my older post and I bought my duck on 2/16/11 and I am assuming they were about a week old since they were housed in a very very tiny cage with week old chicks.I bought them because they couldn't even stand up in that tiny pitiful cage.
So if I calculated...
Well they are both making almost peeps still, but they sound like a classic "quack". Although the darker one sounds like it has a little deeper "quack"......I'm thinking they make be a little too young yet.
Thanks for the reply!!
A few weeks ago I posted about my brown duck to see if you knew the breed(I think it is a Khaki Campbell). I got him/her a friend and was wondering if you could sex and ID them both now that they are older...any help you be appreciate it!!
I also have a few questions for a newbie duck...
I love my ducky!I can't wait until I can get more(I will be keeping an eye out at the feed store for more unfortunate ducks in that tiny cage!)As for a name I think I am leaning towards Bowe...KInd of sounds like it could be a girl OR boy name.
I definitely will be getting more ducks soon!!
Is that little pink spot on his bill not his egg tooth?I thought that was what it was,so I assumed he was still very young....or is that natural for ducks to have a pink spot when they are young?
Sorry for all the questions!!Just want to make sure...
Thank you for the replys!!
@drdolittle~ Im REALLY not sure if it is a goose or a duck, the feed store worker said duck but could be a goose for all I know lol.
@duckyfromoz~ Thank you SO much for giving me some info!I am so in the dark about ducks that I thought it was a day old.
I can...
I found this duck at the feed store in town,It was in a cage were it couldn't even stand up.My heart wouldn't let me leave it there.....Im new to duck rearing but I do have chickens.I am curious to anything you can tell me about it,like what breed,age and sex if any of that is possible this...
I thought she could have been picked at by the other chicks.....I just HAD to have her after I say that bald head!
OH I forgot to add that she/he still makes chickie baby noises,if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the help!
