I didn't know if she was mixed breed or a duck wing. Thank you for clarifying! So she is a gold duck wing oegb. I just know she is my favorite and her feathers are beautiful.
One of mine did too! So pretty! She also has light colored ears and I've heard there's a correlation between ears and egg color sometimes. I half expected her to have lighter eggs. She is also smaller than Mt other barred rock. I'm wondering if she's mixed with something else. Came here for...
Ok FIRE ANTS!
These guys like usual are back. In the past I've always sworn by Amdro Ant Block. Apply it twice a year, for the most part no worries.
Now we have chickens. They don't open range but they do graze in tempary runs, yards and their tractor. I'm worried about ant killer...
Us too! Got us this time! Took out one of our trees. It fell on the duck run, which bent but held up. I brought all the birds inside last night just in case anyway. Didn't want to chance it.
I really appreciate all the input and information this thread has offered. IWe were dealing with similar issues with one of My favorite Roos. Needless to say the g lock and home are much more peaceful since he's been gone!
We rehomed him, new flock, only roo. Win win I'd say.
We recently rehomed our main Rooster leaving Little Jack our only roo for 3 ladies. My two full sized hen were very attached to our old Roo. They were very upset when he was separated! I wasn't sure how they were going to take to the new change.
One hen just started laying the day our old Roo...
So we've been offered some of these ladies. We are new to chickens and our flock is small and mixed. I only have 2 full sized hens, one bantam roo and hen at the moment. Alll around 19wks, same as the Cream Legbars we were offered. Would this breed be a good fit? Any opinions of the breed...
Yes he is, thank the Lord! Thank you for your concern. I'm also very happy that someone in our neighborhood is going to take Ginger in the morning. Not only does he beat the knife, but he gets a new flock of ladies! I couldn't be happier because it's really been bothering us all.
No rest for the wicked they say! My favorite Roo has turned into a real pr!ck! Overly aggressive with the ladies, rearing up at little people. When we ended up with two roos in our small flock I knew one day I may have to choose. The hens picked my favorite one too. They are horribly upset he's...
I'm trying to be responsible and not take on more than we can handle at the moment. There's reason I didn't ask you for a pictures lol makes it harder to say no! We are really just wanting a single duck hen for ours.
Youll have to update pics yours are beautiful! I love our Cayuga girl, she has been so lonely since we lost our mallard last week. We are looking to find her a friend.
First time fowl owners here. but from what I've heard, females quack and males are have a rasp. I didn't understand until mine got their voice. My female definitely a quack. The male, which I didn't know was a male because he was a young mallard and still hen feathered, his voice came in I...
Does anyone raise Cayuga Ducks? Our girl is 18wks old approx. and recently lost her partner. They had been an imprinted pair since we brought them home. He was a mallard drake and they had been quite busy although she has not started laying.
I'm looking to find her a sister. Doesn't have to be...
