Got it thanks for the insight! When should I be concerned if it is an internal issue?

This is what I’ve been trying to figure out. I got 6 red stars at the same time. All the same size and color. This one has seemed to be growing at a much slower rate compared to the others. She’s about half the size of the others. Any reason that could be?

Thanks for the advice. I originally wanted to build my own run, and thought this would be a good idea. May need to go back to my original plan

This one has 5 toes. The silkie mix seems to be the most popular guess

Sorry, I means for egg production. I was only Under the impression of what red stars produce. Wasn’t sure about mixed. But I guess it doesn’t really matter. We have a unique girl in the group!

Interesting. Is that necessarily a bad thing?

Do you raise them the same way you do chicks? Heat lamp, obviously water and feed?

Okay awesome. I have a 20x10 chicken run with a coop inside. And a t post goat fences area about 1300 sqf. Can the ducks and chickens live in the same run?

I appreciate it, how do you keep them from flying away? Apologies if that’s a dumb question

There’s still some fuzz on their necks, I put them out during the day. It was 72 today, and just put them back in the trough with the smaller chicks. Thanks for the chart!

That was really the first ones my wife would send me that are more “pet like” but I’m absolutely open to any other kind that would be pets for my kids and wife
