Hello beautiful fellow chicken lovers, I need help sexing 4 different chicks. Each a different breed. They are all around 5 weeks old. #1, I think is a Porcelain D'uccle, #2 is a Millie Fleur D'uccle, #3 I think is a Golden Seabright and #4 I think is a OEB but color might be a BBR. What sex do...
Hello everyone, unfortunately, due to covid job issues and a housing situation, I am currently looking to rehome my 13 beautiful babies, and I have just been told I only have two weeks. It breaks my heart. I love them all more than I can say, and I'd love them to go where they would be loved...
I have three Broad Breasted Bronze. Two Tom's and one hen. When they were young they all strutted. I thought it was funny. Now just my pretty boys do it. (Old Man Tom, and Clyde) My hen (Lurkey) seems to not care though. Lol
I have 3 Khaki Campbell ducklings that are almost 7 weeks old. Almost fully feathered. Just waiting on the wings to come all the way in. To me, they all sound like hens. But if you go by looks, everyone says drakes. But they don't sound like drakes. They quack. Any help would be appreciated!
A good solid 3 a day. My girls are all so sweet. They love being held and getting treats lol Mine are kinda chunky after being locked up all winter and fed treats by myself and apparently my neighbors. They buy mealworms just for my girls! 😂 Spoiled rotten!
I have 3, 12-14 day old Broad Breasted Bronze turkey chicks. They have been doing amazing ever since I purchased them from TSC. Ive had them 10 days. But today when cleaning out their brooder, I noticed one of them has discharge from it's left nostril. Its open mouth breathing a bit but other...
Oh and two cats lol who actually mama my babys. I cannot keep them out of the brooders. They are fat well fed house cats with mama needs I guess. They even seek them out inside to rub against them once they are bigger lmao They have helped raise four different types of birds now with zero...

He's been getting some sun lately as temps warm up. But maybe he's just a smelly boy lol he's healthy and happy otherwise. Thank you for the tips though!! 😊
Aww thank you! I got lucky! 😊 He's currently in a molt so I guess we'll see lol I'll update this thread when he's done and report back if he still has his musky odor! Lol 😂
That was not the question I asked, but because I have children, I do indeed wash my bathtub out after the ducks have been in it. Every single time. I appreciate the tip but I am not new to owning ducks. I know how dirty they are. Them being inside wasn't a choice. Hauling water to a kiddie pool...
He is not alone. I have a hen with him. They get fed Mazuri. Fresh veggies and fruit and SFL. They also get perch minnows twice a month.
He bathes so often because he wants to lol he wont hush til I put turn the water on. The musky smell comes from all over him. Not one specific place. (He...
