    Breed and Sex Help

    Update: Ferdinand is most definitely, definitely male. He is a super sweetheart so far, though, so he got to stay. I think he may be a Saxony. His whole head has just about turned silver and he looks very different than he used to!

    Saying Bye to my 2 beautiful Pekins

    And just because you have not yet gotten ill from these practices does not mean you never will. You get to decide what risks are acceptable to you, but claiming something is an acceptable practice because you do it or because you read it somewhere on the internet without critically evaluating...

    Oh wow, they do look quite similar to these photos. I thought the two girls might be Saxonies.

    And the husband told me he thought the lighter ones were Welsh Harlequins when I picked them up, so...who knows? They don't look like it to me, but I am super green. I'll update with photos in a month for a new consensus!

    Breed and Sex Help

    Dang it! I thought so, but was holding out hope because I really like him. He's so lovely, and definitely the leader of their little pack. Will have to see about exchanging him as we're so overrun with boys already. :(

    Breed and Sex Help

    So, I hatched 9 khakis in April, and all but one appears to be male for my layer flock :lau:lauAt just about 6 weeks old, only one quacks and the rest have a raspy peep. I decided to get some females (we won't be keeping all of the males), and ended up with 4 females who are 3 months old. The...

    Does this look like start of angel wing?

    These goobers are so hard to get photos of! It seems to stick straight up towards the sky when he's in the pool but of course he wouldn't cooperate and STAY in the pool for a minute while I took a photo. From weeks 1-2, they got a duck starter from our local feed and seed - 22% protein. I...

    Does this look like start of angel wing?

    Following along - the exact same thing is happening with my 5-week-old khaki and I was just coming to look it up. I'll try and snag some photos of him tonight.

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    We are 9 for 9 hatched 😯 I can't believe all of them made it. This is clearly how chicken/duck math works, eh? We had hoped for 4-5 of them 😂 guess we will be building an addition to the coop! These are the oldest 5. Everybody else is chilling (warming?) in the mama heat nest and one left to...

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    We are up to 4 out so far and #5 is zipping! One is quite a bit bigger than the others (he also got a bit stuck while zipping).

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    2 babies are out!! One from the hard shell - she burst out and ran across the incubator. It's been a bit since I've been up at 2am for a birth (I am midwife but am on a leave). So delightful to watch that unfold! Off to snooze until my human babies wake me up. I'll be back with photos when the...

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    Thanks! I was pretty surprised by the state of them from a 'free run organic farm', to be honest. But I admit that my knowledge of factory farming of eggs and what all the designations mean was pretty (shamefully) limited 😔 I am happy they are here and will get to live out the rest of their...

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    Two of the later set have pipped the shell! The two I made safety holes for are peeping away but no progress. I plan to leave them to their own devices until tomorrow morning (48h) as long as they are peeping and seem well tonight and then assist if needed. I love hearing their little voices! 🥰...

    Hold my hand through first hatch?

    I haven't had birds before either - we just adopted 3 Rhode Island Red chickens who were "retired" at 18mo from a local egg farm. They are in pretty rough shape, but I am feeling pretty good about being able to nurse them to health. I wasn't planning to add chickens to the crew until later this...
