It just dawned on me....My older duck was raised with the older goose. Last week, and a few times before, the older duck jumped on the older goose back and was pecking at her. I shooed her off and didn't think anything of it as the goose is 3 times the ducks size. I wonder now if the duck did it...

Well that is terrible, my 3 year old goose has never been mean to the ducks. Do I have to separate yard area now ugh I have 1 pond.

So I have raised 2 of them since babies, in a coop for geese as I have a 3rd that is full grown and a separte coop for ducks. Every morning I let them all out together and all is fine. Today for some reason the now quite large gosling attacked a duck by the neck, dragged it into the pond...

We have 3 happy healthy ducklings early, day 21 and 22. 2 more eggs to go due Dat is actually not until this Sunday so we shall see.

Sure as heck, Day 21 took them out to candle and they are starting to internal pip and there is shadowing. Sprayed lem and locked them down, looks like they will be early.

Shadowing? I see the bill against the air pocket?

Yes, certain!! I do candle every day and spray before I put them back in after cooling.

Shoot I am used to having an answer by now

One more note, I did have a duckling hatch 2 days ago, perfectly at day 28, and perhaps they hear her peeping and it is speeding things up?

Question, I have duckling eggs in the incubator that are due in 8 days HOWEVER, 4 of them have progressed much faster and the air sack is already half the egg and it is possible that they were sat on by the chickens before collecting. Should I make the call and lock them down and stop turning or...

I am incubating crested ducklings and I do understand the struggle! Bought 2 now fancy incubators to be able to keep up with the eggs, to rotate them is the thought. First 6, down to 2 due in 2 days now pretty sure nope. Second set of 6, 5 left due in 10 days pretty sure only 2 left. 3rd set of...

8 weeks old

For starters it is now crowing each morning. Also, it is VERY mean to the other hens herding and even biting them. Here is a better shot showing the reddening, the red just started to appear this weekend.

OK the red does not show as well in these pics but Roo right? I just know he is by mannerisms alone! I have 100% guarantee by the breeder if this is a roo to swap him out for a hen. He sure is a stunning bird but I can not handle a roo alone. Please help me confirm?

Another thread is say not, look at these tail feathers just 4 days later, showing e green and red now too, hard to see in this shot.

Hard to see but we are now showing iridescence green colors in the tail, need a sun shot tomorrow because I swear I saw red as well, and we are crowing a HORRIBLE crow every morning, you would think I was strangling it the sound is so bad. But no comb yet, possible that at 8 weeks it is just not...

8 week old EE, roo or hen thoughts please/

Shoot, I think one of my chickens is a roo? It is becomming severly agressive with the siblings and is MUCH larger than them, even the leggs. I swear it has also been trying to crow. Can you take a look and let me know your thoughts please?

Shoot, I believe one of my birds is a Roo. Just started to become quite mean to the siblings who are MUCH smaller, including the legs. Can you take a look and let me know your thoughts?
