You got me wondering, so I made doubly sure everything was good to go.. My feed is amprolium, which can be a hazard if overly consumed (generally by water dosing), however according to the ratio on the bag, it won't exceed the danger level, even if my duck stuffs her little self.. lol.. I do have to make sure she's getting plenty of B1 and B3 (thiamin and niacin).. which I have covered in spades. All should be well.
I don't comment on "is it a roo/pullet" anymore and I try not to ask about my own! I do like to look though....I saw one the other day, I looked hard...it's been almost a decade since I had chicks, so I'm "practicing" while I wait for my order (is it May yet?)! I swear the chick looks like a pullet to me, actually it looks exactly like my PBR did when she was little, I'm pretty confident in saying "I think it's a pullet", but every single person commenting on it says "oh, that's definitely a roo".
I could be right, I could be wrong....all I know was that I was convinced my little Barred Rock was a roo (she crowed, she was bossy, the works...), but she was my best egg layer for all the years they layed eggs! She also was the first to start laying.
