    Can you sex purple peachicks around 2 months old???

    That is what she called it :/ I know I can't really find anything on that color either other than a website saying they use it to describe a shade of purple they sometimes hatch. Maybe this lady is doing the same, idk. I will see if she will send me more recent pictures. Thank you both very...

    Can you sex purple peachicks around 2 months old???

    I am considering buying these peachicks from someone local. She says this one is a purple split (I am confused because shouldn't there be a color after the word split to indicate what the split color is. Or is purple the split color and it's actually another color?) And that this one is an...

    I ordered!!! :) :) :)

    Exactly like sharing the same due date LOL!!! I had to get several, as I recently figured out I have 4 boys and only 3 girls. Not a safe ratio!!! One of my boys is a mallard, so I got him a couple mallard females since everyone else is so much bigger than him (and they have the best chance...

    Are guinea keets supposed to "cry"....ALL the time?

    Thank you everyone. Every day seems to get better, they must be adjusting finally. The chicks and ducks I have raised prior never went through that so it really concerned me something was wrong. Thanks for the mirror and duster ideas I will add those in the morning :)

    Are guinea keets supposed to "cry"....ALL the time?

    I do have them under a heat lamp, I thought they were too hot so I moved it farther away and they started shivering. So I moved it back and they started crying again. They seem so desperate for something and I can't figure it out :\

    Are guinea keets supposed to "cry"....ALL the time?

    I am trying to figure out if my keets are normal in the fact they have cried all evening yesterday and all night long. There is only 5 of them, and there was always at least one was standing with it's head out stretched crying. I am not sure if the person I bought them from used an incubator or...

    I just got my first guinea keets....

    I am pretty sure that is exactly the section my question is posted...... I have looked at a bunch of pictures of babies and I do not see any babies so far that looks exactly like mine so I am wondering if they are mixed. That is why I am asking. I also was told when I bought ducks to feed it...

    male or female ducks

    I just remembered reading the other day that some khaki cambells fly I am sure it depends on how much they end up weighing.

    male or female ducks

    Out of the domestic ones, the mallards are really the only ones that can fly. Everything else might catch a lil air a few inches off ground but they can't really fly. Drakes tend to be larger. If you look at the average weight range of a breed the smaller weight tends to be the girl and larger...
