    What color will this silkie chick be?

    I got this little silkie Saturday for free from someone I got ducklings from. I was wondering what color it will be? It’s yellowish with greyish areas. Maybe splash? Or will it just be a white silkie?

    3/4 day old ducklings not interested in eating

    New duck mom here. I got 2 ducks this Thursday and a third Friday. They are 3-4 days old. They are drinking and chilling in their brooder. They don’t seem to eat much. I’ve raised chicks for years and they are pigs. Do ducklings just eat less or should I be concerned? They seem comfortable in...

    Another game of hen or roo w/ F1 olive eggers

The hatch mates with single combs are very obvious who are boys. But these ones aren’t obvious (to me). Help! One blue bird and 2 splash birds. They are...

    I hatched out 6 fbcm from what I was told were pure birds from a well known hatchery in California. But not all of the chicks look like what they are supposed to.

    Do we think she’s laying?

    This girl is 23 weeks old and a French blue copper marans. I started getting a brown speckled egg this week and I’m hoping it’s not her yet because it’s way lighter than I was hoping for! I thought marans laid later then 22/24 weeks. Does she look mature enough to lay? And if so, is there any...

    Easter egger roo? Help

    I bought 4 Easter egger chicks from my local farm supply store and they were sold as pullets but I really think one is a rooster. They are now 6 weeks old. The one in question is in the front. It has a really pointy tail and much more red comb compared to the other 3. Do I have a rooster?
