thanks for the quick reply.
Does your judgement of their talking apply to the magpies too??
Well the one loud pekin likes to talk a lot- guess she deems herself very important.
If I were to go by just their noise level I would say I have 4 males and 1 female- which would be very depressing.
HI all

I got some ducklings from Ideal back in the beginning of may- 2 Pekin females, 1 Pekin male and 2 magpie females. And some silver appleyard eggs- out of all the eggs only 1 hatched and turns out he is a male.

Here is another bump for you
I have a hen that is doing the same thing- I don't know if its always the same one or which one it even is.
Hope the bump helps
I hope this is the right section- I didnt know wether to put it here on in the pest section.
My birds have worms.
I gave them Eprinex on saturday. It seems to be working because today I found a glob of paralyzed worms in a glob of chicken poop.
Two questions
