Looks like boys to me

Thank you. Where do you find predator tape?

My daughter found one of our three five week old ducklings dead on the creek bed tonight. Petunia. A hawk had just flown away. Her head was pecked clean. The hawks never bother our chickens and I hadn't thought we would have trouble with the bigger ducklings. Do you let your ducks free range...

I am assuming the darkest headed duckling is a male but not sure of the other two. They look different and one is whiter than the other. The ducklings are from Holderread and are supposed to be show quality.

Thanks! We have chickens but it seems I need to learn the differences. My kids are so excited!

I just ordered my WH ducklings. Can't wait!

I just ordered my ducks and hope to have a trio of Welsh Harlequins. I am handy enough to assemble a duck house but not enough to build....at all. All the options online are for chicken coops. Can anyone recommend a reasonable option that would work well for ducks? We have a large coop for our...

Great idea duckygurl. Thanks!

I just started researching ducks and WH seem like the perfect breed for our family. I was hoping to get some ducklings ASAP, but really only want a trio. Having to get rid of the rest of a minimum shipment might be traumatic for my kids. I can't seem to find a local source (within driving...
