    Breed ID - Khaki Campbell? Buff?

    I bought this drake as a duckling from a “Welsh Harlequin” bin at the local feed store several years ago, as a friend for the one pictured next to him. I don’t think he’s a WH, and it never mattered much, but now I’m curious about his true identity. He’s lighter weight than his companion, has a...

    Heart breaking day on the farm...

    I'm so sorry and understand your pain. One thing I've come to terms with is that it's not the animal's fault when these things happen. My own adorable little mini dachshund-spaniel was a chicken killer as are my neighbor's cute tiny dachshunds. A couple of nights ago my daughter literally...

    Assisting a Squished Duck Egg - Pictures

    I’m assisting a duckling to hatch now d/t the shell being crushed. I was moving the hen and her eggs from their precarious nest to safe housing in the barn when she lunged at me and hit the egg in my hand dead on. This was on day 24 of incubation and the damage to the external shell was pretty...

    Another attempt to sell duck-eggs

    My local feed store pays ME $4 a dozen then re-sells them for $6.50. The aversion some people have to duck eggs is totally psychological and makes me laugh. My kids and grandkids are grossed out by the thought of eating duck and especially goose eggs so I lie a lot about what I’m cooking.

    Rescued

    Sweet! What were the circumstances? They look like my Swedish-Rouen-Welsh Harlequin crosses. The little one in the forefront of the picture is a mallard with a bent wing who flew in 2 years ago and never left ;) EDIT: I should add there is some Cayuga in there as well.

    Ordered eggs...

    I don't know that ebay reviews have that much credence. The last person I purchased eggs from has stellar reviews and 99% positive feedback - mine arrived poorly packaged, broken or scrambled, with 0% viability. It could easily be blamed on mishandling by the post office or just the luck of the...

    Is this a blood line? And help to decide when is lockdown day

    My eyes may be playing tricks but that looks like normal veining to me. Are you seeing movement?

    What breed is she??

    Yes, the OP's pullet could be a Dark Cornish Bantam. I'm actually thinking my pullets may be Barnevelders.

    What breed is she??

    I have 3 pullets that look very much like yours. The only thing I know for sure is that they are definitely NOT GLWs!

    Hatching Dirty eggs

    I do think Dave Holderread is THE authority on waterfowl. I've consulted with him in the past about perplexing situations with my ducks and geese and he's been very helpful. So - if he recommends it I would believe it.

    Hatching Dirty eggs

    I wish I had known how to clean them before incubating too. Last month I bought 6 Silkie eggs through ebay that were not well packaged. On arrival one egg was crushed and the others were covered in dried yolk. Three eggs never developed; one chick made it to internal pipping and died, and the...

    Please Help! Worried! Peking Duck brooding behavior advice

    Following.. Just found my Cayuga duck on 12 eggs and one of my Pekins on 15 (+2 banty chicken eggs!) All are viable and at least halfway incubated, confirmed by candling last night. Their nests are in separate parts of the property and well hidden in brush - it's only a fluke that I found them...

    Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

    I bought my very first CL eggs through Ebay yesterday and picked them up from the local seller today. I paid for 6 but she only had 3 fresh purebred ones ready so subbed 3 + 3 extra CL x Welsummer eggs. Has anyone here ever hatched chicks from that cross? I'm not a huge fan of olive eggs...

    Colorpack question

    Jenks Hatchery here in Oregon states they developed the ColorPack layer from 3 different breeds, including Cream Legbar. They describe them as being "similar" to Easter Eggers, with varying color patterns, so I'm thinking the other breeds might be True Blue Whiting and Ameraucana or EE. I was...
