So this sweet little guy fell into our laps this morning at our local chicken swap where I am a vendor. A couple came up and we started talking about him. We originally thought they were carrying around a goat in a blanket lol. He is a 3 week old bottle baby. They are moving out of state and...

So I've been breeding my muscovies for the past few years per Al's Quackery genetics chart. So far I've managed to produce black, blue, chocolate, lilac, buff, and just today I've hatched out some silvers. I'm trying to decide if I should add a male silver to my flock for breeding. Keeping a...

Ok, so I bought my first 2 four week old splash Australorp chicks from our local chicken swap today. I just realized that one has dark blueish legs whereas the other has light yellowish legs. I know for a fact that they are full-blooded because the man was a vendor right next to me and we talked...

I have a chocolate Muscovy drake that I bred with my blue female. Per genetics, I would have a possibility of black and blue males and chocolate and lilac females. I had 9 babies hatch yesterday afternoon. If I'm correct, in these pics I am seeing 2 black, 2 blue, 2 chocolates, and 3 lilacs. Can...

Does anyone have any pics of any embden cross goslings. I have an embden gander, an embden goose, and an African/Toulouse goose. Both of my girls have been sharing a nest. These 2 babies hatched out 6 days apart and I'm trying to figure out if they are embden or crosses.

I picked up this muscovy duckling this past weekend at my local chicken swap. I was told it was a lavender and am trying to confirm that it is a true lavender since it's wing feathers are now coming in and it appears to have some barring on them. I was under the impression that true lavenders...

I have a 2 year old African/Toulouse cross. This is her first year hatching out goslings. She is currently sitting on at least 11 eggs that I can see. The eggs have started to pip. I went out to check on her and I saw some of the straw making breathing motions. I got a stick and moved the straw...

These 2 muscovy ducklings are the 2 I decided to keep out of 2 clutches that hatched last month. I am still new to vent sexing so not 100% confident in myself just yet. However, I was pretty sure that they were female. Based on pics, do you think I was correct? They are both the exact same size...

I have 20 muscovy duckling that hatched 5 days ago. Of the 20 there were a mixture of wild type black, black pied, black barred, and 2 blues. I am currently decided which to keep. I have narrowed it down to all but 1 of the blues. The question I have is, both blues have blue head (which I know...

I've kept ducks for years, but this is my first time hatching out muscovies. This particular mama is setting on 17 eggs. So far I have counted 6 heads. My other broody mama's eggs should start hatching out today or tomorrow as well. She only has 6 eggs. I thought her clutch was a week behind...

Just picked up these 4 day old purebred embden goslings. I did not vent sex them as they were so young and was fearful of hurting them at this young of an age. I did however try to pick out 2 that were very distinctive in coloring as I've always been told that the females will be darker at...

So this weekend I went to my local chicken swap to pick up a couple more female muscovies to even out my male to female ratio. I was hoping to find some juveniles close in age to my other male and female who are 6 months old now. All I could find were adults and I was a little hesitant about...

I hatched a WH x KC cross female about 5 months ago. She has not yet started laying. However, I did catch my black ancona drake mating with her yesterday. This morning I also caught my buff drake mating with her as well. I was just curious since she is a mix of WH and KC, will her babies...

So this little guy/gal is not almost 9 weeks old. I was told it was either Toulouse, African, or a mix. Any thoughts now that it has feathered out? It's bill is turning orange, but has a black bean at the tip. It was a little muddy from the rain we had yesterday so a little hard to tell the...

So I just recently purchased a pair muscovy ducklings to add to my flock of Anconas, Buff, KC, and WH. It got me curious as to what different hybrids looked like. I've googled and the most common are the pekin and mallard crosses. Does anyone have any other crosses? This is just for pure...

So we went to our local chicken swap this morning. I had to meet one of the vendors who was purchasing one of my ancona drakes. I had intentions of purchasing a black swedish and a pekin to go along with my anconas, WH, KC, and buff. I wanted to look around before making my purchasing. We passed...

So this little guy or gal is now 6 weeks old. We got it at our local chicken swap a few weeks ago. We were told that he/she was either african or toulouse or a mixed breed. The farm he came from has african, toulouse, and tufted Roman. At first we were pretty sure it was an african, but the bill...

So mama introduced her 6 little Wh x KC babies to the world today! They were all born under our shop. The first was born 2 days ago, and the rest were born yesterday. She had 4 eggs pushed out of the nest this morning. I candled all of them and absolutely no sign of life and were rotten...

So this is my rooster named Nugget. We got him about 4 years ago from one of the neighborhood kids. Apparently, the high school was giving away chicks and he took him home, but couldn't keep him once he found out that he was a rooster. He was our very first chicken. Just recently we have decided...
