just found this thread and read through it I just got some khaki/mallard crosses. mom was khaki dad was mallard. they were hatched out this spring. i'm hoping they will start laying! i'm wanting for eggs and meat so hoping they take after the khaki more than the mallard.
there is six total. right now i'm trying to listen to tell who is duck or drake. the drakes will be butchered but I will be keeping the ducks and watching for a nice drake khaki or pekin or runner.
will get pics soon.
does anyone know other then listening to them how I might be able to tell genders? none have drake tail curl I don't think /: but definitely some quack and some whisper-quack
We have a an array of looks. We have one that was beautiful as a young duckling and now that the feathers are coming in she is starting to lose all the mallard markings and looks like the khaki. I will post some pictures of her soon. But I currently have pictures of some males that are up for sale. I do not know if they are approx the same age as yours, but I will post them below.
