Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

I see barred rock or dominique in there (black with white spot on head) and possibly Black Australorp for the black ones with light undersides. Could be Jersey Giants too.

Super cute babies.

I see a few Appenzellar Spitzhauben's! Lucky you!

Which ones are they?

I received 45 birds and 2 ducks. Plenty of Polish! I will post photos shortly; any help with IDs will be appreciated!

Should I separate my turkey poult from my chicks? I don't think black eye is spread by baby chicks that are not even exposed to it. Will the poult hurt the chicks?

 

[nordicacres]

I take the risk of blackhead (really I think it is there, anyway) and brood my poults and chicks together. The poults don't pick on the chicks. At least mine don't!

Very cool boxes! I should stop reading this thread, lol.

Oh gosh, one of my ducks has water coming out of his nose. What should I do?

 

[21hens-incharge]

Are you sure it is water?
How much fluid is there?
Did he or she dunk their entire bill in the water dish?
Are they breathing ok or is it gurgling when breathing?
If it is not too much fluid and if the duckling is breathing ok I would not worry to much.
Do you put marbles in the water dish for the newly hatched? It keeps them from doing the full face dunk. If you do not have marbles rocks work too. The goal is to make the dish shallower for a few days until they are used to drinking.

There is a duck thread here if no one else answers.

Good folks on there too. Probably a lot more duck experience there as well.
