90% sure these are cocks but unsure of breed. I believe the first two are olive / easter mutts .

I am about to incubate 6 geese eggs. Unsure of type. Anyway, i have brooded ducks & chickens before. But this is my first round of geese. After about a month in the brooder and growout pen, will they follow the ducks normally; and thsomewhat raise them ?
FWIW my 4 ducks are 100% free range...
See attached. May still be too early., I’ve heard the silkies even hens like to squabble but ive never seen any of these stand up like my young 2 month old cocks did of various other breeds. Hatched out 11 , but lost 6 to predators , 1 wry neck and 1 drowned
Pekin & cayuga ; both approximately 2 yrs old. I got them about a year ago and previous owner said they had brooded before. They did this about 3 or 4 months ago now doing itagain. I have no problem letting them go broody or hatxhing, thats why I have drakes… any way heres my issue. They stay...
See attached pics . Hatched approximately first of November.
I feel pretty positive 2 out of the 3 leghorns are roos, due to there nature and size. They square up to each other occasionally.
The pullet is still growing in feathers.
Unsure of the 2 rhode islands; both appear pullet to me...

according to my records, i hatched it out may 2021. The other olive just started laying. But i think im...

So i was gifted 6 ducks. I know nothing about them other than there nasty & messy 😂😂 i have them set up with nesting boxes . So they wil be taken care of with my 30 chickens.. anyway heres pix. I know 3 drakes & 3 hens. Also, what can i expect about egg laying? There about a year old
Never have seen them in 4 years of having up to 40 birds, but any how apparantly one has them. Im gona treat entire flock, but what is best alternative without catching each one individually? Could i pour apple cider vinegar in there waterer? (On demand 5 gallon bucket with trough) or a powder...
