Was just thinking that actually. Thanks for the reply though! Not sure why I didn't think about it, I've gotten one from the sAme place last year. I also got two 'Americauna' today. I will consider them easter eggers just to keep myself happy, I've heard it's extremely rare to get true...
So! This is one of two chicks like this I have. Mostly black colored fluff on the backs. Chest and some highlights on the winglettes are yellow. Comb appears rather flat. You can see in the photos, along with the facial coloring and yellow feet. Wondering what breed you all think? They came in a...
Just an update. One of the Cayuga has a much earlier tone. And one of the Mallard has OrangeORANGE feet/legs while the other is not as bright. Still watching and waiting.
Just a little funny for y'all. I separated my chicks out from my ducks last night. Apparently after months of bonding, the ducks felt attached to the chicks. Whoooooo boy were they upset with me! Squawking quacking away! I'm the plus side, one of My Cayuga was the loudest complainer, so I may...
Thanks for the information! And I'll have to try that with the Cayugas. My Khaki already 'screams at me' if I leave her sight before handing out any pets. Lol.
Not the best photo (sorry about that...) But i am wondering if the two Mallards i got are, in fact, Drakes. They are both starting to show an almost green hue to the tops of their noggins, and at only 5 weeks. :th
So far, out of the 5 ducklings purchased, my Khaki Campbell is the only one...
I want to say that a wild predator wouldn't kill for fun without eating the chickens
So it points to a domestic animal (imho) however... That doesn't mean it was YOUR dog. They must have a lot of money if they are DNA sampling their chickens.
A better photo may help. I can't see the one in back. But the front duckling appears to either be a mallard or Rouen. Does it have one stripe or two on its face? If it's got one over the eye and a complete stripe under, I'd say Rouen. If not, Mallard. My best guess.[/IMG]
Two Mallards(sold as Rouen), two Cayuga (I think....?) and one khaki campbell. Just starting to get their adolescent feathers in. Poor little ducky awkward Teen phase
Thought I would share today. I have, in the past, had issues with dogs and chicks. Today as I was cleaning the chicks pen out, I must have left the gate untied. I poked my head out there was my Lucy dog, laying next to their outside section... Bathing a chick through the wire
Lucy, and the...
When you meet a tractor supply employee who's actually willing to learn. I found her manager and said wonderful things about this young lady. I was looking at the baby duck and she apologized for not knowing exactly which Ducks were what breed. I helped her to find the Rouen from the mallard. It...
Reinforce your pen/coop area as best you can. Continue with the trap attempts. Check on the birdies as much as possible. Sorry you're having a predator issue. I've had Hawks and Eagles flying around my small chicks brooder for days now ... Darn creatures
I'm turning out old hog pen into the new chicken area. So I've got about 8" deep burried fencing lined with borders, the hogs never got out, so I'm banking on that from letting predators IN. haha. Hope it works out!
Step 1:Get garden cleaned out.
Step 2:Clean out little chick coop.
Step 3:Try and get more work done on the race car.
Step 4: AAAHHHHHHH! Too much to do.
