Can anyone help us to understand what to expect with Holderread order?

Here is a pic (not a great one) of the SA I'm thinking/hoping is a girl..what do you think? Also, is... -
Golden Cascade sexing?
That's a great pool! I'm still figuring ours out. It's crazy how different the GCs look. Neither of mine have a ring around their neck. My darker GC is the only one that I can tell for certain is quaking. I'm starting to think the lighter one may be a drake. It's noticibly larger than the... -
Injured Duckling - Am I doing the right thing?
Than Thanks so much for your help! The blue kote seems to have done the trick. Tho I think your right that she is on the bottom of the pecking order. She's also terrified of me now :( but at least she's not bleeding! -
Can anyone help us to understand what to expect with Holderread order?
They are all soo pretty! I'm curious to know when you were arable to tell male from female silver appleyards. I have 2 that are four weeks. I think one is starting to make a quack and has much lighter coloring. -
Injured Duckling - Am I doing the right thing?
Thanks. This morning I went out and brought them some peas. I let her out of the dog crate so I could get a closer look. Her wing looks better, but they did start pecking at it right away, so back she went. I'm going to buy some blue kote today. But I'm wondering..is this a common thing? I saw... -
Injured Duckling - Am I doing the right thing?
Thanks for the reply! It is already looking much better. No longer bleeding or red. Do you think overnight will be long enough To keep her separate? -
Injured Duckling - Am I doing the right thing?
At some point today, one of my ducklings was injured. They are just 4 weeks old and beginning to get wing feathers. It looks like one of the other ducklings or possibly a chicken bit her wing and pulled the new part of the feather out, leaving a bleeding quill. It didn't look too bad, so I've... -

EE pullet or cockerel
Starting to think this feisty bird is a cockerel. Pointy neck feathers. Bold and bossy. Greenish-blueish tint coming out in tail feathers. Comb is redder than the rest. Guesses?[/IMG]ontent/type/61/id/6440670/width/200/height/400[/IMG]- mamdoe

Ducklings Learning to use ramp
While my ducklings were still in the brooder, I would carry them outside along with their food and water each day. At 2 weeks old I moved them to their duck house. The weather was kind of crappy for a week, so I just kept them in the coop for that time while they adjusted. Now at 3 weeks old I... -
Golden Cascade sexing?
The The waiting game is soooo hard right?!?! This is my first time with ducks and I'm so nervous about everything. I can't decide if I will keep any drakes or not. I've been obsessing over them learning to use the ramp ( they can easily get out of their house, but I never see them go back in)...
