Hi all, any ideas on genders of these mixed breed farm chooks? I have had conflicting opinions so far. I'm thinking 1 and 6 are Roos? Others hopefully pullets? But really they are just guesses. Thanks for your help!

Hi orca! Thanks for your welcome and response. There were a few darker blobs in a couple of them but I'm almost 100% sure it was just the yolk I was seeing and as I turned them the rest was light no vessels. I took them away and messed up the nest. She is happily back with the other three this...
Hi all,
I have 4 white Muscovy females. No drake. I often see a wild mallard on our dam but have not seen any "action" and one of my Muscovies has gone broody and is sitting on about 13 eggs... I don't know whether to just leave her. I think it's unlikely they are fertilised but it has been...
