I know this is a chicken group, but I can’t find a similar peafowl group. Can anyone with experience take a guess on the gender of these two peachicks?

Any guesses on the gender of my two 8 week old peachicks?

Looking for some advice. We have a flock of backyard chickens. Yesterday a random duck with an injured wing showed up in our driveway. We live in a very rural area. Neighbors are at least a mile away and they don’t have ducks. I feel like a predator might have dropped it or it was flying and got hit by a car. We put it in a dog crate and it’s been eating and drinking and waddling around quacking in the crate. The only issue is there is definitely an injury to its wing. It just hangs weird off to the side. The weirdness seems to be from the “elbow” to the tip. I called a local rescue and they can’t take it. We are willing to keep it but can we integrate it into our chicken flock? We have its crate out amongst our chickens now just like we would do with a new chicken. Any other tips? Pic from the top so you can see the wing.

Our favorite hen had bumblefoot. We free range and she loves to get into the brush. She actually had a few scrapes on her foot and this one bumble so I’m thinking she got into the wild rose bushes. Anyway, I actually got the scab cap off of it and the bumble out last week. We’ve cleaned it and rewrapped it every other day since then. I initially packed the hole left from the bumble with antibiotic ointment. It now looks like this. At first I was worried the bumble had refilled somehow, but after some research and looking at it more I’m thinking this is now actually the scab from the open wound left behind and not additional infection. Can anyone confirm that this looks normal for a healing bumblefoot infection? That toe is still swollen, but it’s not gotten worse and I’ve read that it could take several weeks for the swelling to go down. It’s been 8 days since I removed the bumble. Any input is appreciated.

We just love our big guy!

This girl must’ve had a day! (She’s fine, not injured and not over mated, but sure looks like she’s got bed head)😂
