    What breed is this?

    Hey, what breed is this little chick? She/he was given to me as a rescue because of a wonky leg that will never heal. I’m thinking olive egger, but not certain... I’ve never seen a grey chick like this! (In case you were wondering... wearing a cast on the leg to prevent rubbing, and a sock to...

    Duck and chickens together... feed problems

    Hi, I have 7 two month old ducklings and five chickens. How do I manage giving everyone the correct feed? Right now the chickens dive at the grower feed, and the ducklings eat mostly the grower but sometimes nibble at the layer. I’ve been giving the chickens extra oyster shell for this, but is...

    Crested duck breeding...

    So, I just got a totally random little crested duckling out of Ancona/runner mix parents, and I was really exited to breed him when old enough because he is a pretty perfect duckling in terms of temperment, growth, ect. (I’m considering breeding my own type of duck as as a little genetics...

    Showing a Silkie

    Hi, I just got a two year old silkie gal who seems almost show quality (large muffs and beard, small turquoise earlobes, all black with five toes on each foot, ect). I’ve never done any type of showing before, and I thought it might be a fun project! Could any silkie breeders help me determine...

    What color is this ancona?

    I have two Ancona ducklings that don’t seem totally black nor chocolate. Anyone have any idea? I know for sure that I have one lilac and a bunch of blues, but just can’t figure out these ones!:D

    Is this little one black or chocolate?

    I’ve hatched out some Ancona/Runner mix ducklings, and I’m undecided on one in terms of color. All the grey ones are definitely going to be blue, but that darker one I’m unsure of. Anyone have any idea? He looks black, but then again, none of the possible parents are black...

    To assist or not to assist?

    Day 26 for duck eggs, many of the ducks are piping and tapping. My duck’s egg shells have always been MUCH thicker than the chickens, and I am worried that they can’t peck an external pip in them. The first one to pip I just helped open up a hole, as the little guy has been going for 22 hours...

    ISO Lavender Silkies!

    Hi, my mom just lost her first silkie to a predator, and really misses having one around. She's fallen in love with the lavender variety especially, but I've been having a hard time finding them. We only really want one or two, but we'd also love a duckling and potentially a speckled Sussex or...

    Seremas or Japanese bantams with large Wyandottes?

    Hi, I have four Wyandottes, 3 Columbians and a golden laced. They're absolutely wonderful, but I'd love some Seremas or Japanese bantams too, and as I am making a super big run for them, that's now possible! They have their own coop (which is built), but for two seasons of the year, they'd be...

    Bantam chick in New England?

    Hi, I'm looking for a little bantam chick, preferably frizzle or silkie, in Maine/northern New England. I have a little rescued duckling who needs a friend, and I've been wanting to get a bantam for a while now. Heats not an issue, i have transportable heat pad to keep the little guy warm...

    New duck owner-questions

    Hi, I rescued a little duckling that I believe to be a Khaki Campbell. I'm a counselor at a local farm camp, and they had one of their 16 ducklings bitten by the farm dog as he stuck his head out where he shouldn't of. They were going to euthanize her, but as I run a wildlife clinic and have...
