    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

    3 week old ducklings introduced to adult flock, drake tried to "breed" with them

    So, here's my dilemma. It's kind of a long story so please bear with me. We bought 2 ducklings from TSC and the same day bought 4 chicks from a local non-chain farm store. They've been raised together and do great together. We then hatched out (via incubator) 9 baby chickens that we are brooding...

    Breed identification of day-old ducklings

    At TSC there were assorted ducklings. The ducklings appeared to be blue swedish, and maybe saxony or F&W runners today. I am NOT good with identifying ducklings (yet) so I stood there scrolling through several websites showcasing ducklings. I chose to buy what I think is an Ancona, and the is...

I thought it was because my rooster is being rude and chasing them around sometimes, whether to be mean or to mate, I don't know. But I just put chicken eggs into our new incubator (for the...

    Khaki Campbell Ducks and Drake(?)

I believed (until I got 4 instead of 3 eggs) that I had two drakes. Two of my birds have very orange feet...

    Getting into selling hatching eggs as a newbie

    I am starting to raise chickens and ducks and would like your advice. I would like to start selling hatching eggs once my layers and rooster(s)/drake(s) are old enough and I've successfully incubated some of their eggs myself. Is Ebay a good way to start? I have an account but never sold...

    Can Khaki Campbell ducks have a white ring around their neck? 1 week old

    I bought 5 "assorted ducks" from the bin at TSC. I believe they are Khaki Campbells. The other ducks in the bin appeared to be Mallards or Rouen but I'm a newbie just now learning about ducks and chickens. I have had my ducks for 6 days and they have already more than doubled in size! I notice...
