    Help identifying ducklings

    My guess is that one of the parents may have been a Cayuga mix and it came out in your little duckie. I'm new to ducks too though so really that just a guess. My little one is pure black on its body, and feet and its bill is blackish blue. Good luck :-)

    Help identifying ducklings

    My son's 1st grade class tried to hatch duck eggs in an incubator. Only one lonely duck hatched so his teacher had to buy a companion duckling. When the class was done with their lesson they asked if anyone would be able to give them a forever home and we said yes. The duckling that hatched in...

    Bought these in the "assorted ducks" bin but am told they may be geese?

    My husband says yes. We will keep them. He is excited for geese and I'm sure I will fall in love with them even though I was hoping for ducks. Will they get along with chickens/khaki Campbell ducks though?

    Bought these in the "assorted ducks" bin but am told they may be geese?

    Yesterday my kids and I went to Big R and bought them from the assorted duck bin but I have had trouble finding the breed. I asked on the duck forum and they think they may be goslings. What do you guys think? Are these goslings and if so any guesses on their breed?

    Thank you for your input. :-) Do you think the yellow one is a goose too?

    That's a bummer! I hope they are ducks and not geese :-( My husband will be happy though.

    New to ducks. Can you help me guess the breed?

    Yesterday I bought 4 little ducklings from the "assorted duck" bin at the feed store. I have been going crazy trying to figure out what breed they are. Any guesses? 1 is yellow with pink feet and beak. ( I'm guessing a Peking) And 3 have bluish feet and dark beaks with pink on the tip...

    1 year old Hen crowing???

    She stopped crowing once she grew accustomed to the new chickens. She also laid beautiful eggs through the whole process. Thank you for your help :-)

    1 year old Hen crowing???

    My 1 year old Minorca "Caroline" lays eggs but today she is crowing too?!? Is this normal? My sister in law brought 5 other hens today also so I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. All birds are separated so they can get used to each other from a far. Is this a permanent thing...

    Never wanted an egg so bad.

    From this pic, I'm pretty sure you have a rooster. He may not be crowing yet but he's beautiful!

    Never wanted an egg so bad.

    Yep, yours are the perfect age to start laying. It should be anytime now. Ours usually start laying within a week or so after their combs start turning redder. They start sneaking off to sit by themselves to practice and soon enough their will be eggs in their hiding spot or nesting box :-)

    Never wanted an egg so bad.

    I'm excitedly waiting for this spring's pullets to start laying too. I've been going out to "check" on them a lot. Their combs and wattles started getting red about a week ago so anytime now would be great :-) I started with 6 chicks, 1 turned out to be a beautiful rooster, 1 died and the rest...

    This is a roo isn't it?

    Yep, you were right! I went outside and caught "Pearl" getting friendly with my girls. Still hasn't crowed yet though.

    This is a roo isn't it?

    Darn, that is what I thought but didn't want to believe. We aren't allowed to have a rooster where I live so I may have to find a new home for him.
