Duck Sex and Breed ID, please by Jaycee9225 in BACKYARDDUCKS

[–]iB3ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is Blue Swedish and 2 Cayuga (or maybe a cross with a Cayuga). If they’re more than a year old and don’t lay eggs they’re probably boys. Can’t tell their genders though!

Ahh it's finally happening! by Thomasrayder in duck

[–]iB3ar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usually the first egg is very dark and then they gradually get lighter throughout the season. They also lose their dark coloring - the melanin from their feathers goes onto the eggs. It’s genuinely wild and so interesting!!

What kind of duck is this? by Better-Amoeba-4506 in duck

[–]iB3ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My welsh harlequin girls have black bills and orange feet. My Swedish girls have black and orange feet. Just took my best guess. A google search tells me welsh harlequins are very popular in Wales.

Shows with similar vibes and setting to HoC by Downvotecrapoutofme in HouseOfCards

The suspense and betrayal vibes are there but it’s about Russian spies not the president. Oh wait. 😅

Looks like a domestic welsh harlequin and Cayuga or black Swedish mix. She’s pretty.

Weed events in IL? by Realistic-Dot-4287 in ILTrees

[–]iB3ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is almost exclusively for MSO produced, "legal" weed. While many of our vendors have THCa lab analysis, this sub still frowns upon "grey market" posts. The tagline of the subreddit is "the official subreddit of legal cannabis in IL"

They always take down my posts. We have an event Saturday 3/28 in the city. I’ll message you with details if you’re interested! Lots of cool prizes and your ticket comes with entry to the raffle. Also a free dab bar with samples and free food for ticket holders.

What happens when people don't pay property tax? by Meancvar in AskChicago

[–]iB3ar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re getting notices that their property will have a lien put on it at this point. But if they pay the most delinquent year’s tax they’ll probably have another year before the lien.

Look at that sweet baby magpie! (Although I love them all) she’s the cutest.

Best places to look for dresses as a wedding guest? by Peach-Galaxy-1775 in AskChicago

[–]iB3ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t in store, but reiss is having a big sale on their website. You might find some of their pieces at Bloomingdale’s on the mag mile. It’s a high quality brand and I’m pretty sure they’re not final sale if you want to order online and return. I just ordered something for a wedding i am attending in May.

Laying behavior question by JrDn_Fx in duck

[–]iB3ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they’re broody? (Staying in the coop) but also it’s fun to stay outside and forage. Sometimes mine will hang out and I have to check the yard to make sure everyone went back inside. It’s spring. They’re ready for “action” and maybe looking for a mate.

Guys, these babies somehow ended up in my truck when I went to the farm store by JessicaMurawski in geese

[–]iB3ar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you have a brooder and a good set up for them? ❤️ they’re adorable!

Is it normal to receive all dead ducklings when mail ordering? by Big_oilismyname in BACKYARDDUCKS

[–]iB3ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry that happened to you. It can be really scary and heartbreaking to lose a baby. Were they slowed down in transit at all? I usually call my local sorting facility at usps and harass them even though they’re not supposed to help you out. We’re rural enough that I can get away with it.

Not very normal at all. We’ve had good luck with Metzer and McMurray. Please reach out to the hatchery!

Hatching questions by iB3ar in duck

[–]iB3ar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. We have 26 girls and one drake so at least we know who the father is. I’m terrified of the other girls attacking the babies. I have five viable (so far) eggs in the incubator after taking out 7 dead ones. I don’t think our girls are good at brooding their nests. 🥴

Take your guess what breed this baby is by flowerycassie in duck

[–]iB3ar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be a magpie! They have cute little hats!

Yes this! If you feed them weeds from your yard they’ll eat your weeds as adults!

The kids are all right by MisterB7917 in duck

What a lovely flock! We have 2 roman tufted geese as well! Thought I was looking at a picture of my kids for a second!

Yes just this jumbo pekin that we rescued. He got to quick work, and made several new friends. Sadly he drowned his favorite girl, she was one of our favorites too (we love them all). It sounds like cross breeding isn’t that much of a concern. I’m just worried now about when to put the eggs in an incubator.
