    Mallards laying eggs

    Help- Every few years we get some mallards through the DNR to raise & release. My 7 current mallards are about 3 months old. Today my neighbor and I found FOUR eggs: two in her backyard, one in mine, and one in our actual (tiny) duckpond. We have never found duck eggs before. What should I...

    Are these what I think they are?

    Once again, my mom has randomly brought home two chickens so now we have a total of 12. I currently have them separated in a large space underneath the coop attached to the run. Looking at them and hearing them chirp, I can assume they're 6 weeks old? My knowledge of breeds only goes as far as...

    What age do you thin out your roosters?

    I have raised 2 "flocks" of chicks, I'm currently on number 3. Each time, I've waited FAR too long to get rid of roosters (in fact, I made a bachelor pad for some I couldn't stand to see go!) I think this go round I have at least 4 out of 10. 😥 What age do you cull your roos? Do you do it as...

    At what age can i put my ducks with my drake?

    I have two 12 week old silver appleyards I'd like to put In with my drake in the main flock. Are they old enough? If not, when would it be safe to do so. I do have 2 other ducks as well. So hopefully it will be an OK ratio.

    Cute little pullets...or are they?

    My mom randomly brought home these two girls(?) and she says the guy she got them from claims they're a year old and laying eggs already. I have them separated for now. They're pretty small and their combs make me think they're less than a year old but I honestly don't know much about chicken...

    Determining age?

    We found this girl about a month ago, she had been dumped at a local park inhabited by lots of wild chickens. We took poor Thick Chick home with us and she has laid a beautiful big egg every single day except for the last week. This last week she has stopped laying and then laid fairy egg...

    What age are my quails? (+taming them, incubator)

    Three weeks ago I bought my first button quails, both females. They had bald spots in the store, but luckily the feathers grew back in a week. I was wondering how old they were and whether they were mature or not, since I am really looking forward to eggs. I made some mugshots of the birds...

    How old might my peacock be?

    Hi all. We took in an abandoned pair of peafowl last week and think they’re quite young, but aren’t really sure. We’re anxiously awaiting next spring to see how many eggs the hen may lay, but as for the peacock, he appears to only have a single eyespot on each side. If I had to guess, I’d say...

    What gender is this? 6-7 week old Buff Orpington

    I have one Buff Orpington chick that I think is about 6 or 7 weeks old (correct me if I'm wrong), and when I got it, I was told it was a pullet, but I've been worried she's a he instead. I only have two chicks at the moment, the other is a younger EE mix who I was able to feather sex when she...

    When should female Guinea Fowl start laying eggs?

    Hi all! So I have some guinea fowl that hatched on May 24th. They ended up all being females, which was a blessing. I've owned Guineas for a few years but I've never had females- only males. So I'm super happy to have these. :D But my question is- when should they start laying eggs? They're...

    Barred Rock & EE; gender and age?

    Any thoughts on age? What about gender? My barred rock seems a bit older. They were both straight run but I read up on traits to visually sex a barred rock and tried to go with a less “flashy” EE. I know it’s still early but hoping for some guesses. I can’t have another cockerel.

    What age is my duck?

    I recently got two ducks. One is a Rouen and I’m assuming she’s on the younger side. However, I’m not so sure about the other. I think she is maybe a Blue Swedish mixed with an Indian Runner? I’m really not sure about her age, though. The guy I got her from said they were both one year old. That...

    What Breed/Gender? Did the Gods give us a Roo???

    We bought these chickens from a local tracker supply 5 weeks ago. I believe they were only 1.5 weeks old when we got them. They told us they were all sexed female Golden Comets… As chicks the two looked extremely similar, but one was always larger and became significantly larger in short...
