Im new to this perticular forum, I have let my Moscovies hatch my chickens eggs, my chickens hatched my Silkie's because those hatches were successful I decided to see if my Silkies and bantum chickens would or could hatch a goose egg including the few of their own eggs. This wild idea only...
3of5 ducklings hatched, at least one more will hatch, the other Im not sure about. It looks like there is 1 male and 2 femals so far if the ducklings follow how mom and dad looked when they were ducklings. When I candled yesterday morning there wasn't any movement or not sure if the ducky died...
I read this thread for the very first time yesterday when I noticed 4 of 5 eggs externally piped.
This this is what I saw this morning when I went to go check on the progress the eggs.! Mama Muscovy was very happy amd proud to introduce me to her new and her very first hatchling.
Waiting for...
Just an update to my previous question: The Rooster in question died Thursday so I'm sure whatever this disease this is, it's only effecting the rooster that are put in with the large hens.
Hi everyone, I don't mean to step on anyone's Toes or anything but I need to know if there is a disease that is only spread through roosters rather than the hens that are in close proximity of the rooster?
Reason for the question is because sometime in the month of January I started having...

RIP- Mr. Rooster 02/9/16
Unfortunately he passed away yesterday. The last I posted about him I took him inside to get him dry and warm and to recuperate, unfortunately my husband I thought that he was looking better and he put them back outside with his hens. So I decided I would just keep an...
Okay everyone I recently thought my two black and white muscovy ducks were male and my white duck is a female. So imagine my surprise when I came out and saw my one black and white duck fighting and holding down my other black and white duck it appeared like they were copulating, he help the...
Can someone please help me, my rooster is sick and I fear that he may die sense I have already lost one other rooster and an offspring although these to roosters that died are not in the same 10 as this one who sick. I will post pictures of him healthy and then post pictures of what he look like...
Thanks for the info and yes it's mud on his comb and head. He just looks really sad, he came to the fence and let me touch him, which for him is not normal. I recently lost one of my bantam roosters. He also started to act abnormal and he came up to me in the coop and let me touch his feet, then...
Here pics of a health rooster, just a month ago
And now sick rooster.
Never mind the mud, everywhere you look there's mud. My rooster isn't acting himself or looking like his proud self. He's just lathargic, not moving around the as he normally does and girl are just acting less respectful...
Just wanted to show off my Silkie/ Bantam roosters they are 5-6 months old. They are all pretty birds but I'll show my favorite first.
Then the next couple of favs
I actually have two Silkie hens, 1 Silkie rooster, two Bantam roosters and about 6/7 Bantam hens. That blonde chick is so much larger and it doesn't have blue ear lobes so I thought its a product of my larger hens. I will post pics.
So these are a few pics of my Silkies and Bantam.
This is a 5 month chick, I let my Silkie hens hatch the eggs because non of my larger hens were not brooding. I think it's a female .
These are the hens
This blonde chick is the one in question.
This is the only rooster in with the hens so this is the dad, I think the blonde hen in the...
I just love my moscovy duck, they have such personality.
The male will come up to me, with an afro, making puffing sound and moving his head up and down. I want more but I would like to have more white female. The farm I got these, I've noticed most female's are black and white.
thank you for your help. I saw somewhere that the female Bantam have blue ear lobes and go away at laying age, is this true or not. If it is true then those A and B chick are a freak of nature because they both have blue lobes. Your opion would be appreciated.
If some can help me with the sex of these chicks, they are about 5 months old. I will first show pics of the chicks then of the possible roosters.
**Take notice of the beautiful color variation on these bird.** Chick A is in the forground and chick B is I'm the background.
Chick A.
Chick B...

These are my twins- I think they are both Splash females.
