    Pekin Ducks ... Fully Grown In 30 Days? Also *Sexing*

    Mine are 7 weeks old today and they are still growing rapidly. Feathers are coming in good now and starting to quack. Still have more growing to do! I am new to ducks and I am amazed at how fast they grow. They are almost the same size as my RIR hens!

    Egg color

    My hens have been laying dark brown eggs and today we got one light colored egg. I am new at this and wondered what caused this?

    Double Yolks??

    I have six and one of the just started laying last week at 15 weeks old. Got a double yolk yesterday and the egg was large. I didn't know what to think of it until I got on here and started reading about it. Doesn't seem to be anything to worry about.

    can you keep a hen/coop in a basement?

    I just raised (6) chicks in the basement to 6 weeks old and moved them out last week. The smell got pretty bad and we cleaned the cage a couple times a week. I am not sure if (1) would be bad. I used pine shavings as the bedding. It may work if you cleaned it everyday. Good luck.

    Thank you, they froze up at first and then came to life when I put a light in there. I'm from Ohio as well.

    Out of the house!

    I have (6) 6 week old hens in my basement that need to move outside. I have a 4' x 10' coop/run I just built and wanted to know if they were ready to go outside. It is not getting below 45 degrees at night. The coop has a mesh floor and could get drafty. Do they need a heat lamp?
