Can anyone help me identify this chick!!? It has a grayish body and a yellow head. It has feathers down the legs though and that is that part that is stumping me! If you have any clue please comment!

Okay I have a female blue Swedish runner, and a male white crested / fawn Indian runner. I'm planning on these two breeding but I can't find any clear pictures of what the duckling would look like!!If you have any pictures of this mix PLEASE! share!

Could easily be from flies and mosquitoes, I'm not sure though.

What about "frosted feathers"?

Okay I have a female blue Swedish runner duck, and a male white crested/ fawn runner. I'm expecting them to breed soon but I can't seem to find any clear pictures of what their ducklings might look like! If anyone has any pictures of this mix please share!!

Hello! I've been thinking about getting turkeys, just as another pet for the backyard! But I was wondering if they are nice??? Or need to be kept in pairs and If they get along with ducks/chickens?? Feedback would be wonderful!!

Thanks! I'm thinking it might be an overly aggressive hen also

Ive learned that ( with my coop) no bedding on the ground saves slot of effort and money! Unless you are making a floor of the coop and want to protect it. Mine it just on dirt. But every once in a while I take it out and sprinkle some hay along the floor but nothing much. I use perches and...

They can see eachother pretty much 24/7, cannot touch or get together though. I thought that the chickens would just ignore them since they see eachother everyday but I guess not :(

Most definitely not a silkie! Almost looks like maybe a hybrid because of The feathering down the legs. But otherwise not at all. Silkies skin are completely black (including the comb) and the ear lobes are a teal color. So either you got a hybrid, or lied to!

Maybe hawks or other birds of prey? Even owls. Foxes and raccoons also? Coyotes can most definitley be the culprit though! Sorry for your loss :/

I would most definitely keep that silkie away from the other chickens! I also have one surviving silkie that kept getting attacked, so we made her, her own coop with a run as what we like to call the "retirement home" since she is 5 years old and just wants to be spoiled! XD

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! I love silkies! One of mine is about 5 years old and she's doing fantastic :) you will very much enjoy them!!:D

They have a tiny bit of down feathers on the back of their neck that's having a hard time letting go,but other wise yes!

Wow! I have about 12 chickens ( 6 are about three months old ) some buff orpingtons, red, black, and golden sex links, black silkies, some that we have no clue what breed they are hahah! Along with that I have two ducks ( blue runner and a fawn/white crested runner), a horse, dwarf goat, dog...

hello!! So I keep my ducks ( about 2 months old ) in a enclosed pen right next to the chicken coop in my backyard until they are fully grown, well today I had them out with me while I was filling up a bin so they could take a swim. And I turned away for not even 2 minutes and turn back around...

I don't think she will die if you can clean it properly, you will be surprised how hardy ducks can be! Keep her inside/away from the chickens until she heals. As for figuring out which did it i have no clue

Can you gently wash off the area and find where the blood is coming from? And how big the wound is?

Well can you tell us what happened ??

Yes! I let my flock out around that time :)
