Thank you for all the replies! They do look like Swedish mixes of some sort. Their feet are all black and so are their bills but they all have a strange lighter colored chest. They are fairly friendly, but the one with the crested head will bite you if you hold him! Lol No matter what they are...
I got these 4 baby ducks when they were one day old. The lady said they were Cayuga ducks. They are 5 weeks old now and one of them has a crested head? I think that's what it is called :) and it's turning a creamy color on its chest and around its neck. Is this normal for a Cayuga? I really...
Ok so they are chickens then... Just really funny and odd looking! Lol they look very unhealthy so I hope I can get them feeling and looking better. One has it's tail completely gone and it's bleeding a little Thanks so much for your replies!!!
I got these 3 pitiful looking suppose to be chickens today for free... I have no idea what they are?? They almost look and sound like turkey's... But I've never seen a young turkey before, so I really don't know! Their tail feathers are very long and strange for their age and they have lots of...

Well, hopefully I can help someone else who wants to use this natural de-wormer. This morning I mixed the powder wormer into a couple of different things that I know my chickens like. My chickens are super picky when it comes to table scraps, so I was having a hard time getting this wormer into...
Lady of the egg! Lol maybe so! As to your question about being lonely , my opinion would be yes, she would be lonely. I think you need to have a least one more in with her, Birds of a feather flock together!
I have a silkie cross rooster with all my hens(2 production reds, 2 silkies, 2 black copper marans, and a sex link) I just love him! He is so much fun to watch! We held him all the time when he was little and while he is not super friendly anymore he has yet to attack any of us. He does chase...
I have the same type of coop setup and mine lay eggs for the most part inside the coop in their nesting boxes, but they still get on top of the coop to put themselves to bed, I go in every night and put each one of them inside the coop and lock them up. I would think in another week or two they...
