    Brooding Hen questions

    I have 2 brooding hens... I also have a rooster. Is it possible for the rooster to fertilize their eggs even if they are a different breed? And do hens only go broody if they have been mated with? Thanks!

    How many times do they have to mate to get fertile eggs

    I have a female muscovy duck and if I want her to have babies I need a male. There are plenty of males just living and being a nuisance in my neighborhood. Can I just walk my duck around the block to search for a male and let them do the dirty? How many time would I need to do that? Is it possible?

    What to do about my roosters mating habits.

    Hi! I’m new to chickens and definitely wasn’t expecting to keep a rooster. Since we did I’ve enjoyed the comfort of knowing he’s with them when they are free ranging. I have 5 hens and 1 rooster. My hens are Barred Rocks and ISA Browns and my rooster is a Bantam Silkie. I kept him because I...

    Male duck mating with babies?

    Hi, I have an 8 month old male duck who mates a lot with my female who is the same age. However, I will be getting two female ducklings soon. They won't be living together right away of course, I will probably wait a month or so until their feathers start growing in like you're supposed to. My...

    Hi, I have 1 khaki campbell drake + 5 female khaki campbell ducks who are close to 5 months now. During the last 2 weeks, I have noticed the drake mating with the ducks, and even though there was pulling of feather or the neck, things were fine, and seemed normal for their mating ritual...

    Breeding offspring

    Is it safe or should I say wise to breed the father to a daughter? I am looking for someone to trade with on a another tread, but thought I may consider this if it is safe and in general a common practice. I do not want any oddities or bad personalities from my birds. The mating pair I do...

    Cockatiels's fertile eggs

    Hi everyone. I've read somewhere that the birds will be capable of laying fertile eggs for several days, after a single mating. Is it true? Does anyone know anything about it? Is it the same for cockatiels?

    Goose won't accept gander

    My female buff despises my White African gander. Last spring she wouldn let him near her and he seemed to have no interest in even attempting to mate with her. Later in the summer I bought 2 week old goslings and let her see them and she immediately adopted them. I thought the male was always...

    Will a rooster be picky about who to mate with?

    I have a Black Copper Marans rooster who is about 8 months old. He seems to only take a liking to my Welsummer hen, and by that I mean she is the only one allowed to be all up in his personal bubble 24/7. The flock follows him but he seems to ignore the rest of the ladies. I am trying to get...

    I’m so worried.... what do I do???

    So roughly 3 months ago our family added a pekin duck to our small flock so that our mallard hen had another duck since her sister passed away. We found out a few weeks later that this pekin was a drake. My parents were worried about ducklings but I assured them that that would only happen if...

    Male or Female Ducks?

    Hello all! I have 2 Indian runner ducks that are 5 1/2 months old. I had ordered 2 males from Metzer Farms. They have recently started mating in their pool which I understand is common with ducks. They will alternate and both mate with the other. They are also a lot louder than I expected male...
