female

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! —————————————— :p :jumpy #1- Daisy 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. Father: EE...

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...

My duck was attacked by a fox last night but luckily I heard and was able to get out in time, she has barley any injuries it just looks like feathers were pulled out and she has one injury under her wing which looks like a patch of skin that’s quite sore I kept her inside last night and washed...

Hello, it’s me again… right now I have 3 adult drakes and 2 adult laying females. The males quack constantly whenever they hear me come to them or see them. The females used to be the same way and quack quite a bit. Here lately I noticed my black Swedish doesn’t quack anymore. She just makes the...

I have 4 button quail that are around 5-6 weeks old. When can you start telling the sex so i can separate them appropriately? I definitely don’t want the males to hurt or kill each other. Can they be sexed by color ? I know i have one white and one silver, but i’m not sure what the other two are...

11 weeks old and I am stumped! Never attached video before so let me know if this didn’t work!

Hi everyone, I’ve been using this site for informational purposes for a while but this is my first post. I’m trying to find a few adult female ducks to add to my flock to help better my ratio. I can’t seem to find anywhere to get them as adults- at least 6 months old. I’ve tried on Facebook with...

I thought I had all female until this past 2 weeks when I noticed the drake feather and the coloring of the saxonys head starting to get the blueish grey look. So far I had these 2 with 3 others that I know are female. One of them I traded. So now I have 5 females and the 2 that I am suspecting...

I’m struggling with this one! 3 month old Khaki Campbell. I have two hens for sure. But this third still hasn’t changed wing colors. It’s bill is more green than the others. But it’s quack is not super distinguishable either way. It doesn’t sound at all like my drakes but it’s not loud or...
