    injured adolescent duck mating

    She is no longer mine, I gave her to the friend as an older duckling thinking she was a drake to keep her drake company. At that point no quacking (obviously I explained introductions etc and actually duckling was definitely boss with older drake following her everywhere. Things have been manic...

    My friends runner duck is now three months but was always the runt. Under the impression she was a drake (my fault as when they were little her peep didn't change for ages and my other girls had developed there quacks by that point so told her I thought boy unless voice changed which it didn't...

    15 week old white Sussex either masculine hen, or feminine cockeral!!

    They are all hatched from mixed eggs from a very large flock so I doubt any of them is pure, but that's part of the pleasure for me in not knowing what I have hatched. I'm from England, in fact I actually from Dorking so at some point I really must own some silver Dorkings even if they actually...

    15 week old white Sussex either masculine hen, or feminine cockeral!!

    Thank you Karen, her behaviour is pullet like but I just couldn't tell! It sounds like you have experience with the breed? I wont be breeding these as they are just my little backyard flock (4 of them, this one, grey one and the black and whie striped young cockeral pictured and my pretty Maria...

    If you click on the pictures they enlarge, I think the saddle feathers are rounded but the hackles are pointed!!

    The loner chick...? Is this normal chick behavior?

    Out of my limited hatching experience, the bolder loners tend to be your favourites which makes it harder when they turn into friendly cockerals....

    Has anyone tried the incubators on eBay?

    If that's the janoel I have the 96 model (ironic as I only tend to hatch 18 at most in one time), only problem I have is the water trays keep the humidity at 60 which is too high for me-i tend to put in some egg cups with water which brings it down to 40. Other than that I have been happy. Just...

    15 week old white Sussex either masculine hen, or feminine cockeral!!

    Me too, its just baffled me as to why its not more obvious, the blurred black and white striped one in the background is 5 weeks and more obviously a too, is it normal for them to take this long to get bright red wattles etc? I don't have much experience with white Sussex so I'm loathe to cull...

    15 week old white Sussex either masculine hen, or feminine cockeral!!

    I don't know if white Sussex are slower developing the red comb and wattles as have culled a few cockerals that were obvious weeks and weeks ago, this one I just can't decide! Behaviour: more skittish like my hen rather than my other confident cockerals, vocal clucking no crowing as yet, can...

    absorbed yolk sack!!!!! HELP!!!!!

    Disagree about assisting hatching as I have assisted when they are in trouble and have strong healthy chicks that were stuck in the wrong position. But I do agree about assisting hatching to soon. I have only had one chick attempt to hatch with an unabsorbed yolk, you are human we make mistakes...
