I bought both the white and buff silkie. Buff is sizzle and white is smooth. They are about 6 months old. I am wondering if the white one is starting to get streamers. She has a flat comb and stands like a hen though. Both chickens are healthy. I think the buff has a better shape than the white.

So what did he/she turn out being?

My son wants to show silkies for 4H. I am looking into buying this silkie frizzle. Do the wings look off? Thank you. I am absolutely new to this and I have no idea what I am doing. She says it is a pullet. Thank yoU!

Your duck is beautiful! I love her dark beak! That is my favorite thing about the welsh hens, is the slate beak!

Yea when i look at pictures of welsh Harlequin they look nothing like it. I may try a different hatchery next year.

I don'tknow anything about ducks. These are my first. I tried to find information online about showing them. My 8 ywar old entered them into the fsir and we were one of the only ducks that didn't place. What are judges looking for. What is good conformation?

I bought welsh Harlequin ducks from a hatchery. They were hatched April 11th. The female has a yellow beak. Is she not supposed to have a slate beak? I'll try attach a picture

Se*xing. I didnt swear

That is so upsetting. If the female turns out to be male i will be mad. Never buying from cackle hatchery again. They could offer vent sexing on all breeds. It makes no sense. I hoped for at least two females. That is why i ordered 6.

So i just sexed these ducklings and 1/6 is female!! And im not even 100% she is female. I saw a penis on 5. They didnt offer sexing on rare ducks probably because they keep the females. I'm mad. Why else sex all ducks but them. Im upset.

Wow. That is wild.

Thank you, that does really help. Im going to try again tomorrow. Good tip on the hen bumps too. Very helpful

I orderd 6 ducks from cackle hatchery. WH ducklings.they will be a week old on wed. They only offer straight run. I can only keep two and need to sell the rest. I want to keep two hens for layng. I watched the metzer farms sexing video and sexed the ducklings all twice to make sure. On different...

I'll try to find some brewers yeast maybe at the grocery store. My local feed store is very limited. They sold electrolytes and that was all. No duck food, just chicken. The old man working there told me chicken food was ok as long as it wasn't medicated.

Uff dah. Niacin deficiency? I bought them Purina start and grow because it was all I could find. I'll check if it has niacin. I have been feeding them fine chopped kale and a chopped veggie mix of carrots, corn, green beans, and peas.
