one of our silkie eggs hatched today, (i was letting our silkies hatch them) but i need help figuring out who the mom is.
we have a white silkie rooster, a female white silkie, a female brown silkie and a female black silkie with no feathers on her neck (my friend told me shes a showgirl? 🤷♀️)...
hi, a couple weeks ago my silkie got broody with her own egg, and i candled it today and found out it wasnt fertile at all 😭
shes still extremely broody, and i was wondering if i could let her hatch an easter eggers egg or is that dangerous to the chick? my silkies and regular chickens are...
Yeah, so TSC stocked up on chickens and ducks and I just COULDN’T resist these baby chicks. (I know, I really wanted ducks but we are at the max anoint of ducky storage)
We got all pullets (all were sexed, yay!), including the following breeds.
3 New Hampshire Reds
4 Golden Comets (never heard...
Hi all, I just want to make sure I know what to do whenever I get tornadoes coming here in Alabama. So when the time does come that there is a tornado, I'll be prepared. am I supposed to let the ducks out when there's going to be high winds and or heavy rains, and tornado watches? I'm curious to...
Hi, I’m getting silver appleyards, doyens, and German Pekin females. I need them to be sexed babies or adults :) from y’all’s personally experience with any of these breeds, what hatchery was great for you, why, and did the duck be a good duck?
Thank you,
Fluffy.
I’ve decided I’m going to incubate my blue Swedish, Smokey,’s eggs. I have a male Cayuga named Oliver and I was wondering if I separate them from the flock and hatch Smokey’s eggs if I would get blue cayugas. Also what would you guys recommend for me to sell them for? I might be selling some...
Alright, here’s the deal. I need to pick out maximum of 4 more female ducks. I currently have 3 males and 3 females, I don’t want to have to give away 2 males so I’m deciding on getting more females.
My males breeds:
2 Pekins and Cayuga.
My females: 2 Pekins and a blue Swedish.
I need a breed...
I've been wondering because I was looking at 2012 posts on the recognition award thread and some have said something like "oh my gosh! I can't believe I have friend badge! Thanks guys!" Then on their profile it shows no badge and all of the users saying that haven't been on for over 4 years...
My male Pekin drake is 1 year 7 months. At least around that age. He "grew out" of his drake feather when he was 1 yr. Now a couple days ago he decides to grow it back.
Also another one of my Drake's has 6 drake feathers... He literally keeps getting more. He started with one, two days later...
Hi, I noticed my almost 2 year old male Pekin starting to limp so I took care of his bumblefoot, but now he can barely walk. I'm sure if his toe is broken or not. I'm sorry it's 11:17 ish pm right now so I'll just take pictures tomorrow. Hope he will be fine and please pray for him, his name is...
My favorite I wish I could get is crested, second is Saxony and third is khaki campbell, and fourth is Muscovy and it goes on and on and on and on.
What's breeds do YOU want?
Hi,
@Claires Poultry
And everybody else!
This record will show:
How many ducks me and Elly have in total.
How many duck diapers me and Elly have to change every day/week/month/year.
How many duck diapers me and Elly have to change in all.
If Elly or I add to our ducks or decrease the amount...
If this is against the rules I will for sure take it down.
But I was looking at the members thing and it says "Robots: 240" or something like that.
Thanks!
Wanted to show you all my flock today.
Oliver is the Cayuga,
My two male Pekins are Quakers and Huey,
The female Pekins are Donald and Patches,
And my blue Swedish is Smokey.
Patches just recovered from a raccoon attack and I’m expecting her and Smokey to lay in under a month. I’m pretty...
My female Pekin, Donald, has been “head stabbing” (I call it) for a while now and I’ve been wondering if it’s stretching, but it hurts when she “head stabs”!! She rapidly shakes(shivers) her head and then just, sticks out her head and BOOM! If she stabs you it hurts really bad! So what is this...
...He will be dearly missed. A raccoon got him last night and hurt Patches neck trying to kill her. The raccoon was hungry enough to be shocked 3 times by a 30,000-volt. electric fence. I will give photos soon. Keeping them in the more secure pen
So I finally got hold of my female Donald. Then I realized she had something on her bill.
I got her from TSC and she is a Pekin I decided as her mate I got at the same time is a good quality Pekin, but I wonder if she has a mixed breed in her.
