Unfortunately, the last couple of ducklings from a failed clutch were found in the coop this morning. Projected hatch date was in a couple of days. Parents are Buff Orpingtons and they have no contact with other ducks.
What's really interesting is that both ducklings were pure silver. Last...
Here are some updated photos of my lavender Wyandotte who is 5 weeks old tomorrow. Any guesses or help on his/her sex?
There isn’t much comb growth since the 3 week photo but it has gotten more color at the top and the wattles are getting some color.
I can’t have a rooster where we live and we...
I have both blue and lavender genetics in my flock. As well as mottling/mille fleur (porcelain).
I know it’s hard at this stage and I went through it once before with my now blue hen. I just want people’s best guesses 🙂

I have two Lavender Orpington roosters and one needs to go. I want to keep the one that will be best for breeding and both are not people aggressive so that isn’t a problem. We had some wind last night that blew open the door separating the roosters and they fought so that’s why they look beat...
