Hello i am in search of preferably female ducks that need rehoming in northern ohio or close by. I’m willing to drive. I am mostly looking for pekin, khaki, and muscovy. :) if there’s a small group of females id be willing to take a drake as well. I currently have 5 ducks and want to surprise my...
Long story short: I rescued a baby pigeon that was found on the floor of my barn a few months ago now. Decided to keep the pigeon, as it wouldn't have survival instincts being raised by a human. He does great and has adapted well to indoor life (though I do take him outside with me a lot!)...
So I have a male Runner, and two Female runners. I bought one of my females (Jemima) and my male from one breeder, and then the other female (Juliét) from a different breeder. When introducing the new runner a few months ago, everything went perfectly, they got on instantly! The new duck soon...
Our German Shepherd/Dutch Shepherd mix.
We own both the parents, Mooshu and Mika.
She was born May 26th.
We decided to keep her instead of finding her a home.
Photos are from yesterday during harness training
Hi all! Looking for some opinions. I have one specific female runner duck that is constantly chasing, biting at, and pushing out of the flock a younger male runner. This just started happening today. Prior to, she used to always be by his side, and me and my husband used to joke they were...
Hello, I'm a first time quail owner and I just purchased two button quail online. I had asked for a mated pair, and I think I got two males instead. The breeder insists that I got a pair, but the more I look at them, the more uncertain I am. The brown one is definitely a male, as he has the bib...
One of my two ducks was killed this evening by a raccoon that pinned it down. I'm at a loss with what to do with my other duck. I don't want to get rid of her but everything I've read suggests that I get another duck for her. I don't even know where to begin finding an adult female pekin duck...
Hi, I have a small back yard flock. All but one of our old flock had died to we purchased new chicks and ducks... they got along fine tell recently. Our older chicken is now attacking my duck standing on her neck and pecking at her head. I’m not sure what to do and I fear for my ducks life, we...
Hi, I have a sweet little duck (Sparrow) that we thought was a Golden Phase Welsh Harlequin but we just Weighed her and she only weighs 1.8lbs (welsh are supposed to be 3-4.5 lbs).
My question is has anyone ever heard of welsh harlequin call ducks? Thank you!
Hi so I have these Polish chickens and have just read that it's easier to tell the sex based on the head fluff shape before they get their feathers. So I'm going to share some one day old images in the hope that some one with some experience might spot some clues. Pullets or Cochins? There are 4...
I have my first 4 birds, about 3 months old and doing well. My brother has 8 with one small female all the others chase and corner. She isolates herself in the coop and squawks constantly. I traded her out with one of mine to see if changing to a different flock would help her. My three are...
It's probably still to early to tell but if anyone has any clues or guesses let me know :) I love these babies whatever they are.
There is a 3rd chick but that one has grown up with a chicken and will run away from me so I didn't want to chase it around for a photo.
Hello there, I'm rasing my first flock of chickens and i've got two pekins mixed in that I got from tractor supply. They are right at 14 weeks, and I'm still clueless if they are male or female. I've tried listening to their quacks, but they only give out short ones so it's hard to tell, leading...
HELP! I know that it’s normal and can happen but we have at least two ladies in our flock the are turning into roosters. We have two full grown roosters that were male to start with and we have at least two recently hatched baby roosters. Is there too much testosterone??? They aren’t older hens...
Hey guys and gals. So I'm working on a research project and figured I'd ask my questions here. I've only owned egg layers but the research I'm doing requires me to find information regarding meat birds.
So I've found a great little table for Cornish Cross's here:
What I am needing are...
I have two groups of bob whites.
Group 1 has 3 females and 2 males.
Group 2 has 4 females and 3 males.
I read that they pair up.
Questions:
How do I know who is paired up with who?
Do I pull out one female in each group?
Or leave them be someone will get lucky and have two females... :)
Hey everyone! So I was looking at Harlow, my 4 wk. old Rouen duckling when I noticed a little green shimmer from the feathers coming in on the very top of her head... Does this necessarily mean that it is a boy? If so, knowing that the Rouen is the heaviest of my ducks, I would probably have to...
My precious male pete passed away. Its been very very hard for me and for his mate. He was a very gentle boy so i worry about getting her another male who may be agressive... she was more of petes protector than the other way around.
Should i get her a duck of the same breed? And should i get...
