Sounds about right, yes!

Well, since you're in Texas you might get them earlier than I do. Any ducklings I get or hatch never start laying until the next year, after winter.

Swedish is female, no doubt about it. So's the Buff, and the WH. Grats on your lovely girls!

Since you paid for females from an 'autosexing' breed, can you request replacements? With those bluish heads, they definitely look drakish to me...

Perfect. I also have niacin tablets on hand that I use for ducklings.

Check to see if it's non-flush (a side effect of niacin). You don't want that kind.

No, they look great! By feather out' they mean when they look like ducks, not ducklings or something in between. :)

Why would no one care?

Like, permanently? I would wait for all their feathers to be grown in, especially if it's still freezing at night.

I haven't found it so much with the quackers compared to the Muscovy.

I can't remember the website (bookmark is on my dead computer) but there's a weight and size difference fairly early on. As they grow, you'll also start seeing sex-specific characteristics. Most of my females just *look* like girls. The have a slimmer and more refined look to them, their...

It's a very good first indicator, yes! Although some females can try to trick us and vice versa, the size difference is usually a good first step. They looked like they were having so much fun in the water!!! And little Booties looks fantastic! Good job! 🥰

Everybody swears by Durvet's B Complex which an be gotten at TSC. Really wish I could get some in Canada.

He may. He was purchased as a female and technically belongs to my daughter. We might 'trade him in' at the auction next month. Or, I may buy him off her. The smaller of the females is mine anyhow. In any case, he will have a good home. :)

Oh, and his bill is a lighter colour than the two girls.

Took my own Call ducknagers out today. I think (am 99.999% sure, and that .001% is denial) that one is a drake. He has a green sheen to his head already, holds his tail fanned out and the tail feathers are a different colour. The other two have quacked.

Nice set up!

Hi and welcome! You might want to start your own thread so all these very knowledgeable people can help you out better. Not saying you can't post here, but it would help for folks to zone in on the exact topic since this one is for watching our ducklings grow :)

Exactly! Pictures can be so difficult to judge sometimes without a reference.

Managed a quick pic of Sunny's back. Still a baby, even if she doesn't look it from the front, lol!
