This chick thinks its a duck😂

I recieved this chick along with 2 ducks(Cayuga and khaki Campbell) its attached to them since they were raised together and follows them everywhere. I do put it along with my other chickens and it'll go peeping along until its reunited with its buddies❤ does anyone know what breed of chick it is? Im not too worried about the sex..unless someone can tell thru pics but I am hoping its a hen since my last 3 chicks all turned out to be roosters. Any input is greatly appreciated

Is a 4 rooster to 2 hen ratio healthy? Whats the best way to be sure I'm getting a hen from the start? I usually get from a mom n pop feed store and so far all ive gotten were cockrells ive attached a pic of it as a newbie

Never. Never ever ever ever have that ratio. With 2 hens, the only roo you can have is your mellowest guy. No others.

Though, you can have a bachelor pad. An all roo flock. As long as there are no girls, it works fine.
