    Duck ID

    I was recently in Germany and I saw these ducks on the Neckar river. I have no clue what they are! Does anyone else know? Male - I never got close enough to the male to be 100% sure that he is the same kind as the female and babies, but I believe that it is. Female Ducklings

    Sexing Speckled Sussex

    I had only 1 surviving chick out of my hatch earlier this week. The other died yesterday afternoon. I don't know what was wrong, but they weren't ever as lively as chick #1. As a result, #1 was extremely lonely and had to ride around tucked under someones jacket all day. *Her* mother is a buff...

    Midget White Turkey Questions

    I was given 4 MWT about a month and a half ago. I don't know how old they are, but my guess is 3 - 4 months seeing as they haven't grown a lot since they've been here. Question #1 - Gender....how can you tell what sex they are if no one is displaying and acting "tom-ish"? I *think* that I have...

    Can anyone help with gender guesses?

    Hi! These are our 1st turkeys. They are Bourbon Reds that we got at a few days old. They are now 3-4 months old. I think that they are either a pair or 2 males. One is larger and darker than the other. Any ideas?? Thanks! The one in the back is the smaller of the 2. The smaller one is in front.

    Ameraucana cross chick - 6 week update!

    My duck (who has been trying to set since before we moved in June) finally hatched out her first baby! The baby is actually a chicken but, shhhh....don't tell Senator that.

    Is my banty roo just a mutt?

    This handsome young man is approximately 3 months old, crows all the time, and doesn't like cats. I got him along with a few other bantam chicks from TSC this spring and I still have no idea what breed he is, but I am leaning towards Mutt. Does anyone else have ideas?

    Does anyone have pictures of Fayoumi chicks?

    I have a chick (5 weeks old) and I thought it was a fayoumi when it was only a week or 2 old, but now I'm not so sure. I can't find any pictures of Fayoumis around the same age to compare it to. Does anyone on here have some pictures they can share? Here are some pictures of the chick in...

    Bantam ID Help!

    I posted pictures of my bantam chicks 2 weeks ago asking for help with breed IDs. I didn't get many suggestions, so I am posting new pictures in the hopes that someone can help me out now. #1 and #2 are the only ones that I'm not sure about the breed. I purchased them at our TSC about a month...
