I recently hatched some Pekin ducks, all went well except for one that I had to hand-hatch. Sadly he/she hatched with a very twisted neck, likely congenital. Eventually the little guy managed to get up on his feet. The problem is he's very crunched up, he isn't fully extending his legs and is...
Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Nancy from Tennessee. I have been keeping chickens for just over a year now and they are the best! Right now I have 12 in the brooder (six I hatched) and another 8 out free ranging the property. I also have two little Pekin Ducks named Noodles and Flipper. LOL
I got six of these chicks at Tractor Supply and they are supposed to be Buff Brahmas but there are no feathered legs on any of them and one or two of them almost look like the feathers are some what frizzled. Anyone know what these guys are if they are not really Brahmas?
