    important duck eggs: broody chicken or incubator?

    We have/had 2 barnyard pet ducks. Nibbler who was a 2nd generation pet of mine that I helped hatch and raised indoors for months, and her unfriendly mate who wasn't quite right Waddles. About a week ago Waddles disappeared. Last night we couldn't find Nibbler and she still hasn't showed back up...

    how about this teeny one?

    Any ideas? We have 2. I *think* these ones came from TSC, but may have come in a mystery box from Cackle. They are absolutely tiny. Around the size of a full grown quail

    Again, all from the bin labeled "golden comet pullets and marans pullets" I'm new to chickens, buuuuuttt I don't think this random asaortment of mostly bantam cochins(I think) is actually Marans and Golden Comets. Haha. We bought all the birds in the bin and are still trying to figure them...

    another tsc mystery chick

    Any guesses on this one? From a discounted bin at tsc labeled for marans pullets and golden comet pullets that had an assortment of ages and sizes of all different kinds of not golden comet or marans pullets. Such a pretty chick, whatever it is.

    Nutridrench for baby chicks dosage questions

    We got 44 shipped chicks on Friday, our first time with shipped chicks. We lost 1 of the 2 turkey poults early on, but most other baby poultry seem to be doing well. We have 2 chicks we are on the fence about. Both banties(I think). One is a game bantie I think, and it has minor splay leg. It...

    Just for fun: what do you think my birds are mixes of?

    Just for fun. The chickens are mystery mutts(hens from 1 place, rooster from another), the ducks are crosses (parents pure, but the 2 ducks are from different places and different breeds make them up). What breeds do you think make them up? Some of them we know(or think we know), but what do you...

We were planning to hold him back as a breeder. He got left out overnight and hopped over the pasture fence and got got...
