Hey my first bird was given to mensure about 6 months ago. I believe Aduck is a boy but I just wanted to double check. I have him bonded to a little Muscovy and a barred Hen.

Also my my Muscovy PekeBoo and Aduck are really close. Do I need to worry about anything if PekeBoo is a girl?

The goose definitely looks like a gander to me. Broad neck, a lack of underside feathers and he just has that gander stature. I could be wrong, and I've been wrong before, so I hope someone else chimes in.

I once bonded a gander with 10 chicken hens and didn't have any problems. The bond lasted about 3 mo. The chickens were all still healthy and I never saw any mating.
 
Good but shocking news Aduck is a girl :) and is in progress of laying her first clutch. I saw her making a nest and thought she might be making a nest for PekeBoo the duck who is almost the correct age for laying eggs. The next day I woke up to a larger than expected egg. Her first egg weighed in at 5.2 ounces.

Now to taste
