    Where did this color egg come from?

    Nevermind, apparently green eggers can have a variety of shades! I wish I could delete the post but don’t know how! Sorry everyone.

    Where did this color egg come from?

    Hey everyone, I’m wondering if someone can identify the chicken that laid this egg. The one in the middle. I have a few five month olds just starting to lay but didn’t expect any olive eggs with like a light blue/whitish bloom? (I’m pretty sure it’s not poop lol) List of chickens I have that...

    How long do I leave mama on the nest?

    So Thursday night the final chick hatched but seems like it isn’t thriving. It is so behind the other chicks which mom is now taking out and about but this one just stands huddled apart from the rest and cheeps and today I noticed her vent was bloody and so I separated her and the next time she...

    How long do I leave mama on the nest?

    Thank you for your suggestions! Momma ended up with six chicks total! One just hatched today and is still attached to the yolk sac so we will see about that one, but I’ve removed the other eggs and plan on moving everyone tomorrow to a better location.

    How long do I leave mama on the nest?

    Yes both water and chick starter. It’s been in with her for a couple weeks because she stopped getting off the nest. She’s very dedicated.

    How long do I leave mama on the nest?

    Ok, I’ll give her another couple days. She chose to go broody in a dog house in a fenced area. It does have a door that is heavy enough other chickens can’t get in which I’ve been shutting at night but now I’m keeping it shut to make sure the other chickens stay out. I am also not sure two of...

    How long do I leave mama on the nest?

    I have a hen that just hatched three chicks today. I didn’t discover her until she was well established and want to move them to a cleaner and safer spot but don’t know how much longer to let her sit on the unhatched eggs.

    Both Roos?

    I think I ended up with two bantam Roos but wanted to see if others agree. My husband thinks only one is a roo.

    What are my chocolate mixes?

    Hey, anyone have any insight into what these mixes could be? Chocolate brown pretty much everywhere with white bibs. Spotty bills, grayish legs and orange feet. (There are also some runners and welsh harlequins in the pic)

    Adult Drake with juvenile females

    We are not looking to breed for ducklings at the moment, but want eggs for sure. I’d prefer, just to keep things simple to have a single flock and just rehome any extra drakes. I love my runners and I can separate them in the short term until we know for sure if they are drakes. Thanks so much...

    Adult Drake with juvenile females

    Ohhh ok that makes sense. He hasn’t been aggressive to the runners at all but his aggressive mating attempts is how he’s showing he’s the dominate male? Thanks so much for the info. My husband and I have talked about separating the runners from the rest of the flock until we know for sure what...

    Adult Drake with juvenile females

    I believe he is the only drake. I know for sure my Goldens are all girls (very vocal quackers!) but I’m still not sure on the runners. They are very quiet and hard to hear whether they are developing a quack or rasp. The drake has shown no interest in the runners but my husband thinks that’s...

    Adult Drake with juvenile females

    Hello, this is my first year with ducks and I started with 3 Golden 300s and two Indian runner mixes in the early summer and they are now about 9-10 weeks. We recently got an adult pair of welsh harlequins from someone and immediately the drake tried to mate with the juvenile Golden 300s. They...

    Are these actually golden 300s?

    Hi, I recently bought 3 ducklings from a lady who had too many. She told me they were female golden 300 hybrids (sexed by the hatchery) but as they’ve grown they look nothing like any online pictures I can find of female golden 300s. They look more like the males but they do all seem to be...
