    Khaki Campbell’s gender

    This fuzzy duo are Pon and Zi. If I was told the correct age when I bought them, they are 5-6 weeks old. Any idea as to gender? I know it’s hard to tell right now. And it’s gloomy so the picture color isn’t quite right but their feet are a muddy brown with darker splashes on top and their...

    What breeds(s) do you think these chicks are?

    I have a salmon faverolle hen and a BLRW roo. My friend has lavender orp and quite a few other breeds. I should have marked the eggs when I incubated them, but hindsight is 20/20! Any thoughts as to whether these may be from my flock or his? It’s not a dispute over who gets them, I’m just...

    Duckling info

    I was thinking of getting my older ducklings some feeder fish for bath time (yes I know, but we always do a quick run through the tub for when they come in at night. My older ones are not on heat during the day but I bring them inside at night. What type of fish do you buy for them? I want...

    What’s going on with these feathers ?

    I noticed with the new feathers coming in that this ones seem to be twisted all the way down to where they connect. Any ideas as to why the feathers are growing like this? Someone suggested that perhaps it was a frizzle but I’ve never had one. Any ideas ?

    1st hatch info

    I was told not to put the new hatches in pine shavings just yet. Can someone tell me why and maybe when I can move them to the normal brooder? I have 20 eggs in and 5 have hatched so far. I have a new chick brooder set up with firm cloth at the bottom (can be switched out easily) instead of...

    Mixed flock

    I have ducks and chickens and I’m aware of issues that could arise should a drake become interested in a hen. if I add turkeys to the mix, what are the things I should worry or lookout for? There will be separate housing for them all, but I’d like to have a communal space for them to free...

    Khaki Ducklings voice gender id

    at what age do the ducklings’ voices begin to change? I’m not comfortable vent sexing chicks or ducks so I’m dependent on behavior/plumage/voice. I really don’t want to mess up the ratio and end up with too many drakes. The ducklings in question this time are Khaki Campbells. Any info on...

    Just for S&G

    Just for fun, let’s sex the other teen chickens I have. These three were chosen from SR bins just to add some flavor to some of the flocks. I was looking to grab any I thought were female but I know how those SR bins work so Im not too worried if they all turned out to be Roos. Any idea...
