All 4 of these ducks are 6+ months old. We raised the pekins from ducklings, and the campbells were given to us at a couple months old with the understanding that they were a male and female pair. We assumed the pekins were both girls due to the lack of drake feathers on them and their voices...
Hello,
I got birds from 2 different places, and I thought they were all sexed. But apparently something I bought was straight run because I have 2 roos that are the same feather footed breed. I cannot remember what I got, tho.
Thanks!
We got two straight run Wyandottes at TSC this year, and I’m thinking one is a cockerel and one a pullet. The second pic is the one I’m thinking is a cockerel.
I dug a little deeper myself, and I determined it was a Freedom Ranger. Seems we have two of them- both cockerels. Glad I figured that out now since they are right at their prime butchering age.
When we got chicks from TSC this year we got these 2 freedom rangers not realizing it was a meat bird breed, so now at almost 10 weeks we understand we have two meat birds. Upon reading I see that some people have had good success with hatching from them. I’m not sure if that’s what we would...
These are both 9-10 week bantams that we got from TSC. The top has recently started to crow, so given their similarities I’m thinking the bottom is a pullet of the same breed. I’m so unfamiliar with bantams, but from searching they look similar to Golden Sebrights to me.
We bought a variety of breeds this year, and none of them were supposed to be meat birds. But we have two chicks that got big *fast*. They are just over 9 weeks old, and yet are as big as our 2 and 3 year old hens which leads us to suspect we somehow got a couple meat birds instead of layers...
We got a few straight run mixed bantams at TSC this year, and I’m thinking this might be buff Brahma. What do y’all think? (If you can’t tell in the pic, it does have feathered feet)
I probably should be able to tell on my own, but this is my first time with chickens. I ordered my chicks this summer, and I got a free chick that we determined was a dark Brahma. We assumed it would be male since most of the "free exotic" ones are, but at 19 weeks I was expecting it's comb and...
