    Any ideas on breed?

    So a while back we purchased ducklings from TSC... and as is common in there they just had everyone in 1 tub... as the lady was putting them into the box for us she was telling us the breeds of each different one (which I of course wrote down in notes on my phone along with distinguishing...

    Breed thoughts...

    So as we can see he is definitely a rooster but not sure what kind other than bantam 😅... been assuming just a barnyard mix bantam but didn’t know if anyone would have a better idea: Thanks to everyone in advance for their time...

    Rouen or Mallard?

    When I bought my ducklings they didn’t have them properly labeled but the worker was more than helpful suggesting breed(s) they would most likely be... now that they are slightly older was wondering if anyone could help narrow down this one to either a Rouen or a Mallard: Based on size I’m...

    Question about my new ducklings and water.

    Soooo I have a chick water dish but was noticing that my ducks were having a hard time getting their bills into the water up to their nostrils (read that was important 🤷‍♂️) so I took one of our spare dog food dishes (1/2” high walls) and filled it about 1/2 way so that they could more easily...

    Ameraucana, EE? Pullets?

    So I’ve asked it before when they were still really young (3-4 weeks old) but wanted to ask again now that they are older... Ameraucana? EEs? They are the golden and brown chickens pictured... I’ve assumed they are both pullets so far since their bantam coop mates that turned out to be roos...

    issues with going in at night.

    So I have 12 chicks ranging from 3-5 weeks old (soon to be 4-6 weeks old) and at night they gather underneath the ramp into the coop rather than going in. I leave the light on for them, I build a more shallow ramp, and I tried locking them in the coop for 24 hrs. I'm in need of suggestions on...

    Question about my bantams

    So my flock has 4 bantams. 2 of them are the only ones that have had pasty butt. My question is: Is it normal for them to take longer to grow any? They are still about the same size as the day we got them. The 4 standard sized chicks we got at the same time have grown at a "normal" rate and...

    Separate or together?

    Is it best to wait till my 1 week old chicks are mostly/partially/fully feathered to put my 3 week old chicks out? Or is it “acceptable” to put the older chicks out first? I have 2 brood lamps so can keep the coop and brooder warm (overnight lows are in the mid 50s) will honestly probably be...

    Is it too warm out to put my 1-3 week old chicks outside during the day?

    Would only put them outside once the morning dew is gone but supposed to start warming up here in Arizona. We will still be bringing them inside before dusk...

    Not new to chickens... but new...

    This isn’t my first time at the chicken show, my grands (who I lived with for years) had 22 RIR hens and 1 RIR rooster. But this is my first time as the main caretaker. We currently have 6 standard size chickens and 4 bantams (got them from a friend who’s hen went broody and hatched them all...
