I bought 5 "assorted ducks" from the bin at TSC. I believe they are Khaki Campbells. The other ducks in the bin appeared to be Mallards or Rouen but I'm a newbie just now learning about ducks and chickens. I have had my ducks for 6 days and they have already more than doubled in size! I notice...
I'm trying to figure out if this chick is a silkie or silkie mix. What's making me think it's not a silkie is cause it hatched with light colored legs that have gotten darker over the past week. The legs are still a little yellowish green. The non-silkie hen I suspect might be it's mother is a...
Here is my chick that is 1 week old now. (Shipped from MPC) I treated her for curled toes by putting a chick boot on her (coardboard and bandaid) for a few days. She still does not like to walk on the foot. Is that normal or should I be doing more?
I also became aware of a condition called...

The black chick is one...
I picked up this 1-2week old Australorp. I am unsure they gave me the right breed as all the pictures I see online of australorp chicks have yellow stomach, and mine doesn’t. Could this be a different breed? Has anyone had a all black australorp chick?
My baby chick is 1 week old maybe week and half and this is the first time I’m noticing it. I saw some people write about this I’m just nervous because i didn’t notice any of the other chicks doing it.
