I have two other Rouen females all with the same coloring but I can still tell them apart

I have already separated him three times I don't want to have him housed separate forever at that point it won't even be worth keeping him around since I only have him around for fertile eggs.

Hello I have 8 ducks, 1 male and 7 females Recently my drake has been chasing away a particular duck from the rest of the flock. He doesn't chase her like he wants to mate. He puts his head down, opens his mouth and chases her just far enough that she is away from the rest of the flock. I have...

It's a good possibility that trimming her feathers caused the pecking. If you have a vet in the area that cares for birds I would take her there if it's really bad it might require professional care.

Well my hens will molt and then when they have new feathers growing in the other hens will pluck them out again.

No she is in the middle she is a very sassy orpington! LOL! I'm thinking she is a late molter and my red sexlink (who are the bullies in my flock) plucked her feathers which they have a nasty habit of doing to the other birds and they pulled her skin.

Dranchhens, may thought is that she was molting and had blood feathers and another hen plucked at them and pulled the skin along with the feather. Someone I talked too suggested that she had Necrotic tissue forming and treating her with antibiotics to prevent infection. I have wound spray I've...

I noticed this today on my hens backside. It's about an inch below her vent. Anyone have an idea on what it is and how I should treat it? She is acting normal and She has not been attacked as far as I know and it's only her who has this bare spot. Please help.

So the two black and buff chicks are the cross between a buff orpington rooster and black australorp hen. From what I read that cross should give you sexlink but one of them appears to be a male but has the coloration of a female black sexlink, the combs are completely different in size. Anyone...

Hey y'all I'm hoping very soon I can start constructing my new coop. I plan on it to be 8 x 12. I don't want to spend lots of money on it so I was wondering if anyone out there has any idea on how to build it cheap yet sturdy? It also has to be good in cold weather and light weight. Because I...

I did they said you can combined species as long as it meets the minimum

Well all I really want is one breed of ducklings and I just want 10 but since the minimum order is 25 I was gonna get 15 SL Wyandottes too. That's why I wanted to know if you could combined species.

If you want to raise pure breds then yes it does matter what they breed with but other wise a rooster is a rooster and with mate with any hen but some tend to favor some more then others

Hey everyone, I saw my local Tractor Supply is setting up for Chick Days (can't wait). I grabbed one of the special order forms just in case they don't carry the breeds I want. Does anyone have experience with the special order forms from TSC? Can you mix species? i.e. mix chicks and ducklings...

Thanks for the help FoxHead! I'm excited, I'm gonna start building cages this weekend 4 for breeders and two extras as growing pens for the babies! :)
