    Do Ducks Grow This Quickly?

    Alright, sounds good! They are in the chick brooder when they aren't out playing. What do you keep yours in? Thanks!

    Okay, wow! They sure grow faster than any chicken or turkey I raised. Thanks for the pictures :)

    Do Ducks Grow This Quickly?

    These ducks are 6-7 days apart in age. Do, ducks grow silly fast? Or, could the two bigger ones be geese? Ritz and Graham Quackers were sent as warmers with our cochin bantams, no information was given. The other two ducklings (Muddy & Puddle) are supposably Pekins we got from the feed store...

    Comment by 'RhodeRunner' in media 'Rhode Island Red Pullet'

    @TLHloveschicks Thank you!

    A good fit for my flock?

    The body type of the pullet is thin, tightly feathered, lean tailed, and her legs are green tinted. My guess is they are both mixed breeds with some gamefowl blood. Delawares should be more solid with yellow legs.

    Is this really a heritage rhode island breed ?

    Heritage Reds are very dark mahagony. That is not even a production red, which is a lighter more reddish color. I agree, she looks like a sex link... black star, which is half Rhode Island Red. picture: is a heritage rosecomb rhode island red pullet

    Winter Layers!!! It is said that...

    @Ridgerunner Yes, winter's look different everywhere, and thus cause different results and options. I think I really failed to at getting my thought across (got to distracted perhaps lol). In that, if one can even think about hatching in the winter, if their temperatures are conducive to...

    Winter Layers!!! It is said that...

    In theory it sounds good! In practice it makes me chuckle a bit. Anyone recommending hatching chicks in the dead of the winter, can't be having that hard of winter. I live in the snow belt, not far from Canada. For winter eggs you would have to do lighting, and some heat. My birds don't lay in...

    Meet Bronze!

    I don't see any signs that indicate a cockerel. With five toes, a beard, and the coloration (out of that mix) you definitely have Red Dorking and Faverolle in blood. Not sure about anything else, but those are physical traits that don't just pop up from nowhere. Easter Egger's are birds that...

    Blue Cochin 13 weeks sexing

    In my experience with Cochins, the cockerels do not hide their massive combs and wattles. I could tell who was a boy before they were even fully feathered. I also don't see anything making this necessarily a cockerel, so I wouldn't give up on this being a girl yet!

    Favorelles?

    A better picture would be necessary to really be certain, but a White Faverolle is very possible and sounds likely with your description of the bird. It is a recessive that pops up on occasion in the Salmon flocks. I used to have white birds hatch out of my Spangled Russian Orloffs, and mottled...

    What mixes are in this bantam chick??

    Are you sure you have mixes? It looks like you have a frizzled Calico/Millie Fluer cochin bantam. The other one you posted (different thread) looks like a buff barred Cochin bantam. Both thus far appear to be pullets.

    What Am I?

    Those are both cockerels. TSC is rather known for mislabeling breed and sex. They seem to advertise pullets that are straight run all the time. They aren't getting rare breeds, they are buying the most common cheapest thing they can get. You probably have some hatcheries version of a New Hampshire.

    What breed?

    Yep, they look like barred rock pullets.
  18. RhodeRunner

    Turns out I have an Australorp rooster, but which one?

    Yep, TSC has a habit of labeling things wrong when it comes to both breed and sex. Those look like their straight run Asian Blacks. One pullet and one cockerel (top pictures). I got some of those this year... they were in TSC's pullet barred rock and black asian bins. More then half were...

    Which breed is it?

    I think he sold you Amberlinks? If that is the case, then you should have all pullets.

    Any idea what breed?

    First one looks like their Asian Black/Blue, I picked up some from the feed store this year. They are not a true breeding bird, and my chicks do not look the same. Some of them hatched out with a little bit of brown at their faces, and some were solid black. As they got older some stayed black...
