Has any one ever hatched ducks and chickens in the same batch? I have been offered some duck eggs to put in with my polish eggs. Any tips for pulling this off ?

So looking up on feather sexing if the wing tip has two feather sizes its female, if they are the same size it male right? Can ALL kinds be feather sexed? I have americanas, and D'uccles. 13 of my 16 americanas are male according to this type of sexing.
I would love any advice on this.

I need to vent. no pun intended.
I have started to feather sex my chicks this year, and I am rather pissy about it. My first hatch I only had 2 females out on 15 chicks, this most recent hatch ( 2 days old ) I have 19 males and only 7 females.
I would like to think that I am wrong about it but...
My husband works with someone who has asked me if i would be interested in do Balut. He can also get me many more people who will by from me. Now i have no problems doing this as they pay 1.75 an egg from the place they get them from now. My question and problem is what do i do with them after...
I decided to give one of my broody hens what she wanted, and now i have two cute 2 week old chicks. I have them in a separate area in the coop. They can still see everyone else. When can i let them out of that area and in with the rest of the flock?
I just got my little piggy on sat, she was doing great the first day, now it almost looks like shes having problems standing up. I go to her pen and get her out of her house, and as soon as she get out she dips a bit then stands again and walks off. But every so often she dips again. She is...

My new lil boy :) isnt he cute.
And my new girl. i know its not the best pic but they are still getting used to the new place.
First time hatching chicks, and my first lil one hatched today :) Its only a few hours old and my concern is that it cant seem to hold up its neck. Is this normal for a newly hatched chick or should i worry?
This is my first time hatching and my first little guy/girl hatched today :) My worry is that he/her doesnt seem to be able to hold its neck up very well. Is that normal? it is only a few hours old. Should I be concerned?
I might have the chance to breed golden neck Belgian D'uccle's. Im just not to sure if i should. I guess im just asking for some other pros and cons of doing it and some opinions on the subject.
Please and thank you :)
I have a lil bantam girl that was hatched begining of april, could she really be laying now?

i have 4 12 week old chicks and im wondering when to switch them to a broiler mix. Is it also ok if i decide to switch them to a layer mix at a later date?
These are some pics that i took of the 2 baby great horned owls that live by my house. Mom or dad was just a few trees over keeping a very close eye on what i was doing. Hope you all enjoy the pics!!!!!!!
