    Too Early?

    Is it too early to guess if I have hens or Roo’s? They’re 4 weeks old. I know the last one is a silkie so I won’t be able to tell but just thought it was fun to post them all!

    Silkie Colors?

    Hey y’all! I just got four silkies from TSC to be friends with a solo chick of mine. They all look fairly similar to this one, which I think is a buff? Am I right? Could I have some white ones mixed in? I can get better pics of the other three, but here is one!

    TSC Assorted Bantam Bin

    I got four sweet babies from the assorted bantam bin today. Any guesses on breeds? I’m thinking mostly OEGB, as they’re all clean legged, but correct me if I’m wrong!

    Hey! New to chickens, but I’ve had ducks for a year. Where is the best place to find sexed bantam chicks? I live in a neighborhood where roosters aren’t allowed. Thanks guys!

    Cayuga Laying White Eggs?

    Hi all! My ducks have been consistently laying 3 eggs a day. I know for sure that two of them are from my Welsh Harlequin and my Golden 300, as they are my oldest ducks. My next oldest is a Cayuga, but the eggs are all white. Is she possibly laying a white egg? Could it be my white layer? She’s...

    Egg Issue

    Hi all! My sweet Welsh Harlequin just started laying about two weeks ago. She had been laying an egg every day, but for the past four days or so has not laid any. Should I be worried? What should I do for her? Thanks for your help!

    What breeds?

    I’m trying to figure out what breeds these ducklings could be before I pick them up on Craigslist! Any ideas? I think they’re from Hoover’s Hatchery…?

    Pekin? Runner? White Layer?

    Here are some updated pictures of my baby ducks! What do y’all think the yellow one could be? Does the orangey bill give me any information? I’m pretty sure the dark one is a Golden 300. Thanks!

    Runner Duck Question

    Are any runner ducks more likely to have blue eggs than other colors? Or is it more of a luck of the draw situation? My Sister in Law is trying to find a duck that adds to her colorful rainbow!

    Converting a Dog Crate

    Hi all! I’m considering trying to turn a dog crate into a coop for some of my ducks. Duck math happened and I don’t think they’ll ALL want to squeeze into the coop I have together. Has anyone tried putting a tarp or some other kind of siding on a crate to make a coop? Any tips? Is this a bad...

    How to Sex Cayugas

    Hi all! I am picking up a Cayuga duck on Monday, and I have the option between a 6 week old and a 4 week old. Is there any way to try to get a female? Any differences at those ages? They are being sold as straight run.

    How to tell the difference…

    Hi there! I’m not sure how to tell the difference between Buff Ducklings and Pekin Ducklings. Any tips??? Any ideas on this baby? I’m hopeful for a Buff eventually, but totally content if this nugget is a Pekin. Thanks for your help!

    Dark Campbell or Golden 300?

    This is my beautiful drake, Huckleberry! Going based off of voice, he is definitely a male, but my pair just turned 8 weeks. I’m torn between the Dark Campbell and the Golden 300. I picked him up at TSC, who got him from Hoover’s Hatchery. Any votes? Thank you!!

    TSC Duckling ID

    Hi again! Y’all successfully identified my original pair of ducks as a female Welsh Harlequin and a male (unsure of breed on Huckleberry). We just got another pair because… duck math? Any ideas on this pair? My guesses were a Buff and a Blue Swedish, but the darker one looks more brown now. Not...

    TSC Bantam Advice

    Hi there! I need some info from the experts! I’m a new duck mama and I LOVE my duckies. My sister in law has chickens and suggested the bantams to me to try this year too. I wanted some more info on them. Tractor Supply has them as straight-run in my town, but I don’t want roosters. Is there...

    Duckling Feed

    I have started my duckies on DuMor’s Duck All Lifestages feed, which is a 22% crumble. Will it be safe to feed this to my ducklings as they are growing? I thought the percentage needed to change but the feed claims to work for all life stages of ducks. Any advice would be so helpful!

    Identifying My Duckling

    We had lots of success with my sweet baby girl, so I’m wondering if anyone feels confident about this potential drake. He’s very quiet and seems quite calm but maybe a little bit nervous. Thoughts??? Thanks for everyone who has helped so far!

    Which ducklings are these???

    I will definitely get some better photos, but any inclination on this pair?? Just got them yesterday, and we are thinking the yellower one is a Saxony? Possibly? The darker one is also a bit of a mystery to me. Intrigued in your thoughts! Thank you!
