I have hatched eggs with the incubator and also gotten ducklings from Tractor Supply in the past. So I always thought the black duck on the left was one we'd hatched because I assumed it was a mix of our black swedish and pekins. But, the more I look at it,it looks more like a Cayuga (which...
We have six 2 week old ducklings (was 8). All last night, I barely heard any peeping out of the 7 (which is extremely rare for these little buggers). Woke up this morning and stuck my hand in and none of them even tried to get up (they usually run from me immediately). Plus, their food was still...
19 baby chicks. 4 Plymouth Rock mixes, rest are a Rhode Island Red mix.
11 baby chicks. 3 Plymouth Rock mixes, rest are Rhode Island Red mix. Huffman, Texas. No shipping, only local pick up (doesn't have to be in Huffman). They hatched the 18/19th of June.
We have plymouth rock hens and rhode island red hens, but the two roosters are different breeds (no idea what type) . We had a 19/21 hatch and need to know what their mix is for selling. We believe one of the roosters is a buff Orpington, would that be why some of the white chicks have really...
There was a cracked egg in the nesting box today so I figured it was just sat on wrong or whatever, but I looked and not only was there no yolk, but the shell wasn't hard at all. It was paper-like/easily bendable. Not at all like a regular shell. Any ideas why? It's only that one so far.
My dad ordered a mix of eggs a few months ago and only 4 hatched and he has no idea what they even are. There's only two types. Any suggestions. I'm thinking that this all black one is a Black Australorp, but not positive (we have 3 of them). The second one, I'm not sure at all.

I know Malards have a stripe and a dot and the Rouen has two stripes, but what if it's got one solid line and line below that's disconnected in the middle?
Need help naming these ducks. Don't know which are males or females yet, but need some ideas, please. :)
1,2,3,and 4 are about 4 days old. A, b, and c are 3 1/2 weeks.
(Another note, just in case: 1 and 2 are either white crested or crested pekins, 3 is an Ancona (we believe), 4 and a are...
My mom claims that the 3 week old ducks shouldn't be allowed in water outside. My dad say it's fine. It's about 68 degrees out (Texas) and the water wasn't really even cold but not warm either. What temperatures are okay for ducklings (1 mallard, 1 black swedish, 1 white pekin)? They seemed fine...
We just got this duckling to day at TSC (3 days old, max, they said) along with a mallard and two white crested ducks. And it looks just like our 2 week old White Pekin did, but has black spots. I assumed that it's a mix, is that correct? Any ideas what it's mixed with??
