    Duckling breed?

    Hey all! Any idea the breed of this duckling from TS? I'm assuming probably Pekin but the dark head and backside give me pause that maybe she's something else? Just would like some input from those with more breed expertise. Thank you!!

    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    Limping Buff goose, no apparent cause.

    Hey, y’all. I noticed yesterday my ~7 month old Buff goose had a slight limp. As of today, her limp is more noticeable, but she’s still getting around alright. She has no bumblefoot, and her legs feel about the same to me. She eats as much Mazuri waterfowl feed as she’d like, though her grass...
