So collecting my eggs after work today I noticed some of my chickens got out of the run. So of corse I started looking around the yard for eggs. I happen to find 3 hidden in the corner by the house. the only problem is they were brown and none of the chickens that were loose lay brown eggs. I...
Ducks are about 3 months old and the 2 thats I thought were females look like they might be getting drake feathers. I'm a first time duck owner so I have no clue what I'm looking at.
Ok that sounds good. I don't really want to cull her. She's my first and only hen I hatched myself. But if I had to for the sake of he other 6 I would. Thank you.

Yeah I saw the feathered feet. But when I first found it i thought it was the same bird. I think i would go with the maran over that $50 day old bird any day!
I'm almost thinking it might be because he's one of the younger chickens. I have 2 groups, ones that were hatched end of April and ones i got mid June. When I put them together he was by far NOT the head chick! He's got his 3 girls but the other 4 want nothing to do with him and had actually...
