It’s hard to say. Their voices are still baby-ish but seem to be a little deeper. My other ducks didn’t acquire their adult voices until around 8 weeks. Then I knew which was which lol. I’m hoping these are females, like many are, but I was just curious if anyone experienced could tell yet

This fuzzy duo are Pon and Zi. If I was told the correct age when I bought them, they are 5-6 weeks old. Any idea as to gender? I know it’s hard to tell right now. And it’s gloomy so the picture color isn’t quite right but their feet are a muddy brown with darker splashes on top and their...

Looks just like my girl at that age!

I keep one roo and about 8-10 hens in one flock. I have 4 teen chickens in the grow out pen, and two sets of brooders with babies still on heat. One has 2-3week olds and the other has my 1 week olds. And I have an incubator full 😂. I’m raising the babies until we can find out what gender...

Definitely a cockerel. Pullets will not have al that black. Very little black, lots of cream colors

Definitely a cockerel. The pullets will be colored different. Way lighter on most of their body

It’s hard to tell until they start getting their feathers in. Then there females will be obvious. Their color is different.

All of the same colored ones have slightly fluffy legs. One has 5 toes like my girl and one which I call Odd Thomas has five on one foot and 4 on the other! The others all have 4 but that could be from my blrw roo.

I have several groups. My oldest are 13 weeks. My youngest are 3 weeks. I’ve got 7 or 8 week olds too. We waited for treats with my adult ducks until they were mature, but I was just curious what others give.

I have a salmon faverolle hen and a BLRW roo. My friend has lavender orp and quite a few other breeds. I should have marked the eggs when I incubated them, but hindsight is 20/20! Any thoughts as to whether these may be from my flock or his? It’s not a dispute over who gets them, I’m just...

I would keep the magpie. Runners CAN be one of the more sexually aggressive breeds. Doesn’t mean your’s is but just as a rule of thumb. Plus the magpie sounds adorable! You could always just go with the best tempered

I was thinking of getting my older ducklings some feeder fish for bath time (yes I know, but we always do a quick run through the tub for when they come in at night. My older ones are not on heat during the day but I bring them inside at night. What type of fish do you buy for them? I want...

I think he does! He’s over here waiting for my girl Baby to lay an egg so he can steal it! And our roo Hoppi trying to figure out what’s going on 😂

I’ve had the chick since it was 3 days old and I’ve been pretty diligent with not letting them get wet/chilled etc. they are in my extra dining room so I’m with them almost 24/7. As their feathers develops I noticed this ones are wacky. The more they develop, the more it’s looks like it may...

You definitely have a couple Roos if their combs are red already!!!!!

Maybe separate her for a while to make sure she’s getting enough nutrients (calcium especially). If she doesn’t improve it may be something wrong with her physically or genetically

Definitely looks like a little roo! Maybe a game bird so maybe that’s why it’s smaller

My friend does hers around 8-10 weeks. Some people wait until 10-12 but I’m not sure how well that works out with how fast they decline once they get too big to maneuver around

They do them weekly. Go in and ask an associate if they have an idea about when they would have discounts. I go end of the day and ask. There’s usually quite a few birds (a lot of times meat chicks) left over. They do not like having older chicks about so they sell them pretty cheap. My...

I noticed with the new feathers coming in that this ones seem to be twisted all the way down to where they connect. Any ideas as to why the feathers are growing like this? Someone suggested that perhaps it was a frizzle but I’ve never had one. Any ideas ?
