Hello, from Hollywood, MD.

Still somewhat new to the backyard chicken/duck raising thing, but scouring the forums and absorbing as much as I can, nonetheless.

I've got two americauna hens, three female ducks(cayuga, welsh harlequin, mallard), and on Pekin that I hatched myself. The ballots are still out on the sex of that one, though, as it sprouted a curled tail feather a few days ago, and lost it's voice today. Guess that's why it hasn't dropped any eggs, yet.

Anywho, that's what i've got so far. I also "coop-sit" a neighboring flock of 22 Anconas, and 40 or so mixed chicks.

Best of luck with the poultry!!

Ahh.. dammit. Was hoping for her to lay some of those big eggs. Not unheard of to have a duck hit "puberty" that late, though?

Forgot to mention that the Pekin is already 26 weeks old!

Are you seeing something I am not seeing here?
Where is the duck?

 

[The Chicken-Boy]

How old is he? My male drake got a curly tale at about 16 weeks.

OHHHH.....the tail!! My bad.

Wow! My drake is an Appleyard.
