Hello, I have had my first hatch of squabs yesterday under my pair of birmingham rollers. Mom is almost solid red, and dad is red/blue pied. So the question is, how early can you tell the color on the babies? Right now they are both yellow obviously.

Hello, I have a Mallard drake that is getting very aggressive. I know this is normal spring behavior for a drake but he is getting violent and my mother comes back with welted arms when she feeds. I hand raised him two years ago and he was a house duck for a while, he was the sweetest little guy...

Anyway, if no one shows I want her to be more tame...
