Anyone want to help me identify some tractor supply mystery breeds?
First up is out of the bantam bin! Pale yellow with grey/blue/lavender accents. Feathered feet. No "cheeks" so I was guessing cochin?
Next I have two that were just labeled as "color mix pullets." hahaha
Baby 1...
Anyone have video of a young cayuga male vs female quack? Mine are 5 weeks old now and very quiet overall, so I'm wondering if I got three fellas. Which would mean I'd have to start finding homes for two of them and a lady friend for the one i kept.
We would like to build a nice pond for our new ducks in their run but don't have electricity out there for a pump. Any recommendations for solar powered pumps? I'd rather not be draining the pool all the time, so filtered seems like our best bet.
Just during the day! They'd still have a house to get them in every night! And still have a run in case we needed to keep them contained for whatever reason.
I guess I'm afraid it's too big for a domestic duck? Or like, if the wild ducks are out there they might fight or something, haha.
I live on a pond. It's not big (but bigger than a man made one). Its stocked with large mouth bass by DNR to help with the mosquito population. There is a flock of geese who come regularly. A flock of ducks that come occasionally. And a great blue heron that will stop by from time to time. My...
Just the lighting. They're all black, but in order to see the details in their faces the picture has to be brightened and that mixed with the filter is making them look less black.
Soooo we got the ducks haha. They played in the tub for a bit now they're in the brooder set up like I saw on a "Homesteady" YouTube video.
Now we just have to plan our duck house and build it, lol
So...I might be getting three 4 week old cayuga ducks tomorrow. Our chicks just moved out of the brooder into the coop a few weeks ago, so they'll be able to go in there till they're ready to be moved outside.
School me! There are so many different recommendations out there...what's the best...
6 weeks old now. This is the one from the first picture and is feathering in more like a pullet than the guy from the second picture in the original pictures.
