    Duck duck soloist

    Hi all, Not sure the amount of context needed for this post, but I have six ducks including five females and one male. There are five Runner ducks and one Layer. The male has always been (seemingly) sexually aggressive. Whenever I’m around and he starts trying to mate I can’t help but intervene...

    Two call duck males in small flock

    I have two call ducks who I got as ducklings this fall. They’ve turned out to both be male. They’re super adorable though! But, I have a female khaki Campbell and a male buff orptington. I know the ratio of three males to one female is not good. But would having two male call ducks be ok? Or...

    Feather Sexing - advice please

    So I know feather sexing isn't reliable all breeds. I have four hybrids and one has hardly any wings feathers and one has big big wing feathers. Is there anyway for me to tell which is male or female or do I need to wait? Why is one growing faster than the other three.

    New male constantly crowing

    Hi! 👋 Here's a long one to set the scene: we have a pair of quail - male (3 y/o) and female (2 y/o) that don't mate (the male is silly and prefers inanimate objects 🙄). The female broke her wing this summer and stopped laying since. We were hoping to add females to the ranks, but unfortunately...

    Male or female?

    Hello fellow chicken lovers. Can I get some thoughts on the gender of these Brahmas? They are supposed to be female but they certainly don't act like it. I've never had this breed before. I got them as chick's from a breeder who assured me they were ladies. But I have seen at least one of...

    Fertile Egg? ...and Our Boy's Preference

    I'm not sure if I should post this as two questions, but the two are related. I'm sorry to have to ask what may be so glaringly obvious for those that are familiar in this area. This is my first few months of having chickens, we have a fairly young flock all still under a year old, still...
