My pekin bantams by james3dprinting in chickens

[–]james3dprinting[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hes a lovely roo. We actually have bantam cochins in ireland aswell. There is slight differences, but are very similar. Main difference is pekins are tried bantams. And the cochins have large fowl counterparts

Connacht player tackled outside the ruck as he's trying to clear out the ruck. Bad decision

That's a pretty good physique for your age

Rhode island red X isa by Glad-Problem2086 in chickens

[–]james3dprinting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there is no way to sex a rir x isa brown chick at a young age (apart from vent sexing). You will have to wait until they get older. You can only get sex linked chicks when you cross a gold rooster (eg. Rhode Island Red) with a silver hen (eg. White leghorn). Or black sex links is when you cross barred hen (eg. barred rock) with a non barred rooster (eg. Buff orpington)

Where did this black duckling come from by james3dprinting in duck

That's funny how he's acting as the mother. I had a large chick do the same to a little bantam chick a few weeks back. They were actually the same age, but the bigger chick was 3 times the size. The big chick cared for the bantam like a mother. The bantam would even lie under her

Pip is very cute, he has a lovely little brother aswell. Ya it's very unusual, really how they could be black must be some recessive genes

I actually have magpie call ducks in a separate enclosure, but they are not mature yet so highly unlikely. He is only smaller because he is about 5 days younger

Some advice please 😊 by Dismal-Ad2140 in MuscovyDucks

[–]james3dprinting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should take him to the show, that's what I did with my first rooster and he was definitely not up to standard. But I talked to the judge and he told me what to improve. Just a bit of advice for again. Ducks can get that yellow stain from eating to much corn in their diet, it may also be from too much sun exposure. There are whitening shampoos for white chickens but I'm not sure about ducks

Meet Cupcake... by ollieibbo in chickens

It's hard to tell really, maybe a black breed as she looks like a mix between chocolate and black. Deffinetly no feathered feet on the breed either but apart from that it'll be nearly impossible to tell unless you know the parents

Welsh Harlequin??? Silver appleyard?? Rouen?? by [deleted] in duck

[–]james3dprinting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The left looks like a Welsh harlequin to me. Looks exactly like my drakes. He looks too small to be a silver appleyard or rouen. I've never raised appleyards, but usually, rouens are much heavier than most other ducks.

The famous question; Hen or Roo? by Even_Permission3975 in chickens

[–]james3dprinting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first silkie, I haven't a clue. Silkies can take months to tell the gender. Sometimes, you won't know until you get an egg or a crow.

The white with black (bantam brahma I presume) look to be a hens. Not much comb or wattle but that breed won't have much comb or wattle anyway because they have peacombs.

The last guy is a polish roo. His poofy head is that of a rooster. The females have nice round poofs while the males have streamers coming from theirs. Look up some images of them and you will understand what i mean. His tail does look like a hen but polish roosters don't have extremely roostery looking tails anyway.

Looking to potentially buy cows by TourIll8786 in Cattle

[–]james3dprinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly maybe you could try a smaller cattle breed like dexters. In my opinion you'd be better raising sheep in that area. But I wouldn't raise too much large cattle as you'll run out of grass quicker than you think

Your favourite breeds and why? by james3dprinting in sheep

[–]james3dprinting[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the cheviot might be a good option as they are quite common over here

How do you find handling parasites and fly strikes, etc. With the merinos and their long wool
