    gander is targeting one of my kids

    Young geese will try to kill or injure other younger geese in the flock. They do grow out of this once they mature. Do you have other geese as his flock? Or are you his flock?

    do ducks need a "nesting" box like hens like?

    I have found a nest box that my ducks love. They use it every day. We had some laying around that were already cut up that we used as mineral feeders for the cows. They make great nesting boxes.

    Asian blue

    So I have been hatching chicks from my main flock. I do have two roosters in the coop but most of my hens prefer my Asian Blue rooster. I wasn't sure what I would get out of these mixes. I hatched from my production reds, isa browns, and some easter eggers. The results- a third to half look like...

    Shipped eggs with detached air cells

    I had given the experienced broody chicken eggs but she wouldn't actually sit on them. She just ended up breaking a few and contaminating the rest. I was hoping there would be ready before she noticed. But she realized they were all dead the other day and now sits on top of the box making very...

    Shipped eggs with detached air cells

    I have two broody muscovy ducks right now. And I really don't need any more muscovies. My other ducks are khakis but I have a pekin drake and a khaki drake in with them. I don't really want mixed breed ducklings. So I ordered eggs. The eggs had a long journey and the air cells were all detached...

    Asian blue

    I know they are a mix. But that is how new breeds are created. It just takes time to create consistency. And I am very happy with my birds. My rooster does a great job with the hens. He is easy to handle and not even slightly aggressive even though he is massive (a little over knee high). My...

    Sexing eggs!

    I would just like to add that unlike mammals, like cows and goats, the sex of a chicken's offspring depends on the female. And a lot of my hens lay consistently shaped eggs. One hen lays pointed eggs that are almost always male (one female out of 3 small hatches).

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    I got my new kids outside with the flock today. From the way my others birds are acting towards them, it looks like they are boys.

    Asian blue

    I'm guessing some of the differences in these birds is because they are a very new breed and it has not been perfected yet. The other major differences are probably because they are not the same breed. Birds can very easily get mixed up. I know my hen is definitely an Asian Blue but I am not...

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    I got these two on the 12th. The person said he thought they were two months old but they definitely are not since my blues are two months. Any idea on gender and age? Also, I am located in NEPA. How long should I quarantine them for? I have not seen any signs of health issues.

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    I only have three adults. And the broody female laid her eggs in a nest box off the ground that she guarded. The other laid hers in a corner on the ground.

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    So I'm trying to start planning for spring. I have my adult trio: black female, blue female, and silver male. And then I have my babies: blue male, two blue females, and three chocolates- at least one male and one female. What would I get from a silver male and chocolate female? Also, what...

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    Those two definitely look like pekins. I had the same thing happen to me. I got three ducklings at a sale. The box said muscovy. I ended up with three very large Pekin boys that I had to give up.

    The mother is probably 45 pounds. The father was almost 80 last time he was at the vet. But I think that was in the winter when he was mostly hair. He's also a little overweight. The males are only supposed to get 65 pounds.
