    Peachick sexing

    I have four peachicks that are a couple months old now and I have a good idea of their genders but I just want to make sure. I was thinking the two in the lower right were females and the others were males judging by the barring on their feathers.

    Toes falling off

    Pullet or cockerel?

    I’ve always thought this guy was a roo but now I’m beginning to doubt it. He doesn’t have nearly as large wattles as my six week olds and he’s a few months old. Thoughts? Six week old cockerel for comparison:

    Letting Out The Peachicks

    Found some duck eggs at local pond- you think they will hatch?

    I found some nests with a few eggs in it and collected the eggs and wanted to know if there was any chance they may hatch if I incubated them. I candled them and all showed no sign of development, and when cracked open they had no odor. There is 20+ ducks at this pond, and there’s been... you...

    Hens missing feathers. Plucking or not?

    I have five hens and one rooster in my main flock, and they are all becoming a bit scraggly on their backs, necks and wings. I think it might be the rooster but I wanted some second opinions. One of the hens is missing barely any feathers at all.

    Switching roosters between the flock

    I have a group of three roosters, and usually two are penned sand the dominant one goes out with the girls. Would it be ok if say, once a month, I switched out roosters with the hens to get more of a variety of chicks because right now I’m only getting white laced Wyandotte mixes. I have my...

    So I found this egg

    Yep. A peacock egg. I’m pretty sure it’s no good since I found it out in the open and nothing inside when candled, but in thought it was worth a try. I might try to find the nest later on today. Thoughts?

    Broody Roo?

    I’ve been catching my Frizzled Cochin rooster sitting where the hens lay their eggs and when I get too close he puffs up, growls, and pecks at my hand. He always gets up but I thought it was strange. Is there any explanation for this or is he just wierd?

    Yesterday my only silkies bum was picked by all the other hens in my flock. When I initially found her, she was bleeding a lot, but it looked ok.
