Looking to purchase silver mallards and mandrain.

That's exactly what these mean, bulky, little devils are! Thank you so much!

Our RK orders from hoover hatchery and all were supposedly pullets🙄 (not that I care) in the 200 chicks there were EE, Oliver Eggers, barred bantam, etc. The ones in the picture I just couldn't figure out the breed, I've never seen one feather out so slow like literally no fuzz and naked skin! 😂😂😂

Any and all help appreciated as I rescued these from deplorable conditions at our local rural king.. these were part of 200 chicks and 14 of which 67 babies died in less than 24 hours this was despite our best efforts and round the clock care! Also how to tell hen from roo

Since I lost one of my 7 week old crested duck( with a large pompom) under mysterious circumstances I'm extremely concerned (normal duck it's whole life but rapidly deteriorated resulted with a very long seizure then death) about my remaining one. My remaining duck "duckie" has 2 pom poms one...

You are correct it is not a layer feed, the layer feed was in completely different bags, it was personally mixed via the feed store and was in all white feed sacks, sewed shut with ingredients written on the bag. The feed pictured is an all flock feed "FOR POULTRY OVER 8 WEEKS" According to...

I was not aware that was a possibility. According to the feed rep the feed killed them due to the larger crumbles and their inability to digest them?

Sad part is the owners, their adult children and grandchildren are who run the office, which has been in their family for over 100 years!

I am sharing my story of stupidity in hopes of preventing another senseless tragedy from occurring in another coop. Backround: Recently my small farm decided to start supporting small family owned companies over large box stores. In doing this we choose to purchase feed from a local feed store...

UPDATE: As for mystery duck, I believe it may be a Silver Appleyard but am still waiting for more feathers to confirm In the past few weeks, I've been rather busy and my addiction has grown! We currently are standing at 28 ducks, in 10 weeks; Yes, you reas that right, 10 weeks! We also have...

On to the smaller ducks that I purchased today as shown in pictures 1, 2 and 3. I purchased the 3 yellow ones because I thought they were crested, this was due to the fact they possessed additional fuz, that was shaped like a woman's bun, on top of their head. It wasn't until I got home and was...

would assume there is at least 7-10 days difference in age between the larger ducklings and the smaller ones. I base this guess on the fact that when I purchased the 4 Rouen, and the 2 following ducks those were the only breeds rural king had on display. In regards to the duck below, pictures 1...

Please let me thank our members for sharing their vast amount of knowledge and teachings, as this city girl wouldn't know what to do without our community! I have spent days reading threads, to absorb anything and everything I can, to teach my young farmers, which I am eternally grateful to have...

I currently have a flock that consists of 22, 7 week old chickens. We have 1 AmberLink cockerel, 3 Rhode island white hens, approximately 10 Plymouth barred rock hens, and approximately 8 barred cockerel. (Yes I know my cockerels will need reduced once hormones kick in😂) 3 ducks, 1 khaki...

Very true! Twin 19 year Olds (I don't see ever leaving home, as they have some mental disabilities and I have adult guardianship, but I could be wrong. A 13 year old who has aspirations to pitch in college. She will definitely be leaving the moment she graduates. For the past 3 years she has...
