This is my Crested Pekin named Bob Ross (though we are pretty sure it's a girl at this point) who is nearing one year old. I dont think I will get another crested after becoming more informed on how they get their floof however still gonna give her the best life I can. I have noticed that she...
I got this rooster from a lady near where I live who had way too many of them for her flock size. I am at a loss for what breed he is so any help would be awesome!
Hey guys,
Second year dutch Hatcher here and we have been struck by something very odd and tragic. Over the past four days we have had three, perfectly healthy 2 week old ducklings, that we hatched randomly die. It really sucks cause I have been trying to figure out the issue and I just cant...
Hey everyone,
We are in the middle of our second season of hatching ducks (I utilized this forum a ton last year due to the learning curve) and things have been going wonderfully so far. We have been hatching out eggs from our own ducks but we also grabbed a dozen hatching eggs of silver...
Can someone help me identify the breed of my rooster? I got him at an auction about 6 months ago and I'm pretty curious. I think he is a handsome looking bird
So in my two year journey with duck keeping, I have always had to fight with mud. Every so often we will get two to three days of on and off rain with no sun that results in the duck run becoming extremely muddy, to the point that there is standing water. I have never really worried about it...
Hey yall, so of my 8 succesful hatches the last Duck had a Niacin Deficiancy early on. At about a week old she was struggling to walk and had incredibly sore hocks so I started supplementing Niacin into her diet (essentially taking a plate with a bit of food and the powder mixed together and...
Hey yall, I traded one of my 2 month old ducks for a new 3 month old drake (my current drake is getting old and I dont think he will get the job done next year) at a swap meet. We are fairly certain that he is a Cayuga based on the colorization of his head and beak but he has a rather dark brown...
I came to acquire a male muscovy duck over the weekend. I put him in a pen completley seperate from the other ducks for the past three days (he could still see the other ducks). I was curious about the temperarment of this type of duck and if he would be able to live with a male mallard and male...
I need to know if these chickens are hens or roosters. I know the cage there in is cramped so the pic isnt good but this is what they have them in at an auction I'm at. I'm pretty sure they are Light Brahma Chickens but I'm having difficulty determining sex based off the features
So my three ducklings that were born two or so weeks ago have been doing very well but today I noticed something very odd during their bath/swim time. All three appear to have bald spots around the necks and they also seem very "swollen" I guess... Pics below... All three are similiar, I have...
Hello yall! I figured Id share some thoughts on how my first attempt at hatching and maybe get some feedback. The reasoning for hatching ducklings is that we have an adult male and female duck that hang out next to our chicken coop. Both of these ducks were bought as ducklings from a farm store...
This has been a rough hatch so far as this is the second duck that is having issues. He hatched about three hours ago with what I think was maybe a quarter of the yolk outside of his body still, when I found him it had been left in the egg. The yolk didnt have any blood vessels and I didnt...
Hello everyone
So this is my first hatch and my first egg pipped today, I'm not sure how long it was pipped for when I found it as I had kinda ignored the eggs for most of the day.
Anyways my brother in law was over and chipped a bit of the egg away for some reason even though your supposed...
