Thank you just got them today from a Muscovy breeder because I thought I had 2 drake Muscovies and 1 female Muscovy. They are so small and they are a week older than the ones I have. I guess I don't have true Muscovy ducks or a completely different breed all together. But they are so cute I cant...
Hello everyone.So I got 3 ducks four weeks ago and they were very little. The person I got the ducklings from was given the eggs and was told they were Muscovy. I noticed two of the ducks were huge and only one was small. I made the decision to purchase a few female Muscovies that were around 5...
NOT sure if this help identifying the chicks but here are some photos.
The blue or what i think looks more like a light grey in the farthest to the left, a beautiful dark grey and white 2nd from left, middle is a black and white speckled chick, buff or orange chick 2nd from the left and the...
I have a friend at work who has Ameraucanas, one Bantam rooster, Australorps, one Cochin and Wyandottes. Her husband also buys eggs to hatch so its a big mixed batch. Wasn't promised anything specific being that I bartered for the chickens and she gave me her hatches she had on hand. The black...
Thanks so much for the help. I am still learning. The blue one does head off my other chick that people have said is a Australorp Cockerel and another speckled one that is starting to get red waddles and comb.
Thanks so much!!!! I need all the help I can get this is my first batch of chickens and also 3 Muscovy ducks. Unfortunately I think I have two drakes because they dwarf my other duck in body size and foot size.
I think they are australorps but not 100%. That one has larger comb and waddle than the other black chicks. The all grey chick has a pink comb and another speckled chick looks like waddle are coming in red. I think the chicks are 4 weeks tomorrow.
Would you have any ideas about the breed of these three?
I have a feeling these three are Ameraucana (one buff, one gray and about darker gray in the background)
Oh cool it looks like I had them in the same kinda of thing when I got my little ones a few weeks ago. I had 10 chicks but I am not sure what breed my other ones are. I have been web surfing trying to figure it out. Glad I might have two pullets. Thanks for the help.
So this is a 3 week old picture of my Australorp he/she is 4 weeks this Friday but he/she has changed more than my other two Australorp chicks. Is this a sign of a rooster or a hen that is older or changed more than the rest.
