Hello, my Silver Appleyard drake duck is not doing very well. in the last couple months, I have already lost two female duck that had some of the same symptoms as what my drake duck “Ducky” has… his symptoms are runny nose and eyes ( his eyes watered enough yesterday that his face was all crusty...

Are these male streamers on our 13 week old silkie? They’re not really longer than the other feathers but I’m nervous 😬
I figured I could get ahead of the game and arrange a home for him before he crows bc my neighbors will NOT be pleased (plus we’re not allowed roosters where we live) if he...
For some background I have three, two year old male pekins and no females. One of our pekins has been getting badly mauled by another and separating them is not really a perfect option right now. Any advice on what to do? Should I be treating the balding spot of his neck or covering it with...
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...
I have a duck that now is full grown and was thought to be a Rouen. He has Black to very dark brown head, white collar but has black not blue stripe like Rouen. Any idea what kind of duck I have? As you can see, the regular Rouen has green head. He's getting large like a Rouen also
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...
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...
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...
Hi there!
I am thinking of getting some male quail purely for keeping as pets. I wondered which quail species has the best lifespan? Or if they tend to all live about the same?
Thanks for any info!
Looking for a single male gosling to raise with some chicks in mid May? We live in southern Maine and would rather pick up a local gosling instead of ordering one online.
I gots my junior flier Alex the Chicken.
He's real snuggly and tame. I couldn't find bantams so my parents bought me this instead.
It's the traditional Malaysian "Kampung Chicken". It's male too, just like I want it. He's gonna grow up to fly in the skies.
Hope I'm in the right thread tho...
