Thats absolutely horrible! I an so glad you guys were safe and some of the babies made it out :hugs These guys could be pure legbar however I would not personally breed them due to the not distinct patterning as a chick. Plus one has no crest whatsoever. Still very cute girls and hopefully you...
I have a younger flock currently (oldest is 3) and have already had a multitude of hens who have died to to natural causes (2 reproductive issues and ones eye had an injury it never healed properly from). My oldest hen is doing good and it would be awesome for her to live long. I would love to...
Call ducklings are bantams so they are much smaller and therefore much more fragile to vent sex. Same goes for bantam chickens, they wont sex them due to their smaller size and higher risk for injury.
