I have 2 Cayuga ducks that came from McMurray hatchery. At their one year molt they grew white feathers. Whats up with that ?? They were a beautiful emerald green/iridescent black prior to this molt. Here are photos. She gets Purina duck food. Sometimes Neutrena All Flock. She gets to go in a...
I have 17 duck eggs for free. They should all be fertile. They are from the past few days if anyone would like to try hatching some out. The two males I have are Welsh Harlequin and Cayuga. The females are Mallard or Khaki Campbell so the babies will be mixed. I am in Massachusetts on the border...
I have 12 duck eggs on day 27. Yesterday morning I candled to make sure everyone was still alive. All looked good. I raised humidity and started lockdown. Today after work I have 4 with external pips. Each one has a little pushed out part with cracks but no hole. Is it just watch and wait now? I...
I have 2 Khaki females and 2 Rouen females. Age unkown. I usually get 4 eggs/ day. Then I started getting 3 eggs/ day and 2 or 3 smaller ones every other day. Is this weird or just something that happens?
I thought this guy was a rouen but the colors don't seem to match. Any thoughts? He is a handsome guy when there is no mud on his head 😀 Maybe he's just a mix. Sorry the water looks gross. It was changed just before the photos. Ducks are so dirty 😒
Tha feed store is closed and I got medicated 28% gamebird by accident. Will it hurt my healthy 2 month old turkey group? Should I just toss them some layer pellets for tonight?
I have never used medicated feed before. I just got 50lbs for my approximately 2 month old turkey group by mistake. The feed store is closed now. Will it hurt them to feed that bag out. They are not sick. Ugh. Can't believe they gave me the wrong bag.
I ordered some straight run full size Cochins. I am keeping 2 of the males but have 3 I am not keeping. There is a buff, a red and a black available. They are healthy and in at night and out in a huge grass area during the day. They are 5 weeks old this week. Free ☺
I would like to put a small wooden platform in the middle of my pond for the ducks to hang out on. Do you think a fox would be motivated enough to swim out to it to kill my ducks?
I've never had a bad shipment of poults before. I had ordered 10 poults and 7 chicks. The chicks arrived overnight but the poults were in a separate box and arrived this morning. One was ice cold dead and flat as a pancake :hitUpon closer inspection was barely breathing. Sat with her for 4 hours...
Would anyone like 4 of them? State minimum was 6 to purchase. There were 7 left so I took them. I only really wanted 3. Located in Massachusetts.
Free ☺ They are loose all day and in at night.
I have 12 Light Brahma strait run chicks. They are almost 3 weeks old. Six have tails and wing feathers pretty well developed. Six have no tail feathers yet and barely starting wing feathers. Would it be safe to guess I have 6 males and 6 females? I know nothing is 100% until they are old enough...
