Hello! I have one Olive Egger I am fairly certain is a rooster and one Ameraucana I suspect is a rooster. I also have one chicken that I hope is an Ameraucana but suspect it is an OE. I ordered 5 and got a 6th so I’m not sure what the extra is. I am guessing they were at least a week old when I...

Hello, I am new to ducks. I was sitting outside with my 2 ducks today and when I would hold my arm out to give them a treat they would run up my arm and nip at my shirt. Very weird. Any ideas?

Hi all :)
First timer here. I’m picked up 4 chicks from our local feed store and they are all supposed to be females. I picked them up on 3/21 so I’d guess they are about 4 weeks old. Would anyone mind confirming they are indeed pullets? :) I have 2 Easter eggers, 1 silver laced Wyandotte and...
