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...
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...
So I have a constant Muskovy duck laying eggs in my yard… They always all hatch and unfortunately due to where I live they always end up getting eaten by predators.
My girlfriend has a single Muskovy duck that laid eggs back in April however none of them hatched and she keeps laying on the nest...
My (hopeful) ladies are 4-6 weeks old (wasn't given a clear age when purchased). What do you think? Hens or roos? I know silkies are almost impossible to tell but I attached pictures of ours anyways. The rest are easter eggers. Bonus points for insight on the easter egger's possible breeds they...
I'm looking to buy one female bantam to equal out my flock.
Not looking for any bantam in particular just any kind ^^
I'm located near Seattle and I am more than happy to drive out a couple hours to pick up!
Let me know if you have any peeps you're looking to rehome or part with!!
We have 5 chicks who are 5 weeks old and all different breeds so hard to compare. This is our Golden Laced Wyandotte Princess (or maybe Prince) Leia! Haha trying to answer the age old question of male or female? Any input is appreciated!!
So i have two batches of chicks that i have together so the first 2 chicks won’t be so lonely as i had lost 2 of their siblings. The older ones are 6 weeks and the younger ones are a bit over 4 weeks old. The bully chick which i thought was a roo might actually be a hen. I also have an unknown...
Hi everyone,
I am brand new to backyard chickens and need help.
the person I bought these off have said they are all hens and doesn’t know what age they are.
Can you let me know if you think they are all hens and an approximate age if possible?
Hello! I have been a frequent visitor of a local man made pond, and a few months ago there was a Mallard family with one duckling. Fast forward to today, I believe there is one juvenile female all alone. She is very friendly, and wanders up to anyone that will give her attention. She swims by...
My males started crowing about a week ago. I’m wondering when my females might begin to lay? Also I took out some extra males because my male to female ratio was pretty bad. Wanted to nip it in the bud before my females got picked on. I left it with two males and seven females in a 3x6 foot pen...
Hello everyone!
I’ve been raising my 3 Rouens for just over a year now and one of my 2 girls has been acting strange for the past week or so. She’s super aggressive and loud to anyone who goes in the garden and I’m not sure if it’s a seasonal thing or if she’s just being broody. We take out her...
I’m looking for a KO Shamo female for my cockerel. His mate recently passed and he’s heartbroken about it. I’ve been looking high and low for anyone who has a female but haven’t had much luck.
If push comes to shove I am willing to ship
Looking to add one of each to our flock, female only. We are willing to drive up to two hours or pay for safe shipping, as long as the price isn’t astronomical. Located in SW Ohio, near Dayton.
Only around 3 weeks old. Does anyone know any tricks or tips to help me know the sex of these two chicks?
The eggs were a mix of shamo and Asil so not quite sure what I have either!
