Impulse buys... am I right?

Wait did you just impulse buy a dog? How old is he? You're in for a SERIOUS shock if you just impulse bought a puppy with no prior dog experience.

He’s 3 months and 2 days. I have prior dog experience. LOTS of it. Also, not an impulse buy. I bought treats, food, and pads prior to adopting him. Thanks for the... concern?

Splash cockerels. The guy who sold them to you either did not know either of these facts or purposely misled you. They are on the other hand nice looking birds. 😊

Thanks. If it’s a rooster and not a hen, is it weird than 1) it’s smaller than the rooster 2) when the rooster that I know is a rooster tries to fall asleep, the “hen” tries to snuggle underneath him and 3) that “she” has some feathers growing in on her back that look like over-mating (maybe an attack?!?)

They're both cockerels.
 
What are your plans for the duck? Have you had ducks before? Are you aware that a male duck should not be kept with chicken hens because they can injure them if they mate with them (ducks have a penis, roosters do not)?

He is a beautiful drake. My Khaki drake was my sweetest duck. I just wanted to make sure you are duck aware. I would encourage you to get him another drake friend or several female duck friends. He will also need deep water to dunk his head in. He would love a small pool too.

Yep! I don’t keep him with my chickens, but the guy that sold them to me did. All of them got along really well, so I put him with the silkies and they don’t have any problems. He’s really sweet and calm though. When the hens do peck at him, he just kinda hides. I have a huge rubber bin so he can swim around in. Thanks for your tips! I have 3 different free ranging groups: The chicks (which my full grown seramas stay with), the gamefowl group (which includes my BA), and the silkies.
The hens from the gamefowl group don’t like newcomers. They’re the ones that attack him. The silkies are perfectly fine with him.
Edit: I gave really bad context

So, uhh. You guys were wrong? The silkie hen laid an egg today. Thanks for the guesses, but definitely not both roosters.
