Mallard or Rouen? Which is which?
I usually know all that is going on with my ducks but I haven't been feeling well for a while so I have kinda lost track of what's going on.

Newborn duckling shaking it's head
Well, yesterday I went out to the barn and was shocked to find two newborn ducklings. One was hidden behind a couple of my boyfriend's tools and the other was underneath my broody millie fleur. The one that was behind the tools was still wet so it couldn't have been there long! I brought it in... -
3 mo old goat question
I have a 3 mo old nigerian doe that I've had for 4 days who is crying like crazy when she can't see me. I know a friend would help her out but I don't have another goat.

A couple of questions about a "pair" of Bourbon Reds
Last year about this time we picked up 12 BBB poults. They were our first experience with turkeys that I think went pretty well. A while after purchasing them. I picked up these two BR that I wanted for pets. I didn't worry about sex then, but now I'm a bit curious. For a while I thought... -

Pot bellied pigs DESPERATELY need hooves trimmed!!
I have 2 female pot bellied pigs that are almost 2 years old. One is very friendly, lets us pet her and rub her belly. The other will not let us touch her at all.

Was I wrong about the sex of my muskovy?
I picked up a muscovy duckling in June and both the breeder and I sexed it and we agreed it was a female. But the more I look at her the more I wonder if she's a male. I don't see the curl in the tail though. S/he is 3 months old now. Any ideas?? -

What are my turkeys worth?
I have several male BBB's and someone is willing to trade one for some muscovy ducklings. She's asking $6 for her ducklings but I don't know what that would equal to for a 5 month old male BBB. Does 4 sound about right? What do they average? -
Any guess on color of these muscovy babies??
I just brought these 2 week old babies home. Any guess on what color they will be? Probably not but I am hoping! There was multiple choice in parentage from browns, blues and black and whites. There was a gorgeous tan and brown drake that I'm hoping is the father of the one on the right. -
