I have (4) tractor supply Rouen ducks (purchased as ducklings). They are approximately 19 weeks old. They all look identical in plumage. None have the green head or silver belly/chest. None have the white neck collar. They all quack the same. I just witnessed one mount another in their pool and...
So today me and my boyfriend went to the beach and as soon as we got there we found a female mallard sitting under a willow tree twitching her head uncontrollably and visibly stressed, now for some more context it was 33°c out and it was packed full of people, I’m not sure if she has heat...

Morning, my names Steven I found this thread online as I have been looking for a female silkie for awhile.
I currently live in Oakland County Michigan.
I am able to travel for pickup.
Unfortunately I do need a female as my city does not allow roosters. I'm not picky on age just been looking...
Here we go again!
Got 7 chicks for you guys to throw your guesses at. This is not my first rodeo with raising chicks and if you followed my original run, I was really unlucky with the Roosters (6 R/9 H). It's time again to have a guess - I'm well aware that attempting to sex them this early is...
Hi everyone. Newbie quail owner here. I have a quail that is 8 weeks old (according to the breeder I got her/him from)
The feathers on its breast look male but the vent sexing (and I’ve looked about 10 times trying to figure this out) is female. No foam (I’ve pushed all around trying to...
I had a pair of two female Pekin Ducks but recently one of them sadly passed away. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Should I adopt another adult or get a duckling for her? Or should I not introduce another duck for a while, but how long is too long? How long can she be alone for...
Hi, I noticed my pet duck’s butt is sticking out. Anyone know why? She also seems down (a bit upset) she’s not as active or quacking like she normally is. She’s still eating and drinking and walking here and there. Her butt just got very dirty as she’s been outside with the mud free ranging. But...
I have 2 Blue Australorps. Hatched September 2, 2023. One has a longer tail than the other. They did say they were supposed to be pullets when I got them. Does anyone know if they are both pullets/females?
Hi the last few days my duck banana has not been acting right and then this morning she was just sitting in the corner of the duck house when I went in I picked her up and she has mucus or tears running down her face and on her bill. she’s totally silent this morning, and seems to be having a...
Hello, I have 3 beautiful Muscovy hens for rehoming, would prefer they all stay together, they hatched in spring of 2020, all being from different places and parents. Located in Western MA. Pet only homes, or a home where they will be given at least another breeding season. They are all...
I got a female Texas Heeler Puppy (8weeks old) a couple days ago. And I am trying to get her used to the chickens I have. I have different ages of chickens. Today I walked her with the leash and she ran up to the chickens for a second, but then stopped. Then got bored of them. She had her tail...
These 8 babies are 6 weeks old and I need help sexing them. I’m pretty sure we only have two roos ( and ). Thanks!

When she was little, she had a little white dot which meant female, but I’m still going to check. She is very sweet and curious.

Hi. Does this look like a girl? Seems a bit larger than the others and sometimes I see the tail feathers pointing a bit downward…although my girls do that sometimes too. ‘She’ is about 7 weeks old now. Thank you!
Got these Easter Egger baby’s and me and the breeder tried to make sure we did our research on sexing the chicks by wings/feathers. Well we both second guessed ourselves in the process and did the best we could. I came home with 10 chicks. Hoping to have all hens. In this picture I have two...
Hello everyone!
My wife and our four children bought four ducklings last night from rural king and are wanting to figure out what breed they are.
They came as an assortment in the brooder at rural king so the lady helping us didn't know what breed they were. Also for the professionals if you...
