I got 2 Muscovy ducklings a few months ago and I can't tell if they are 2 hens, a drake and a hen or 2 drakes. Can someone help? Thanks so much!
This was them when I got them.
This was a few days ago.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
Ok awesome! Also where should I put the nest because I tried to put it in the corner where she laid the egg but it didn't fit. I honestly don't know how she fit back there either cause she's a big chicken and the corners not.
It may be that for some reason her hormones are messed up. In rare occasions, when there is no rooster, a hen may take on the role and begin to crow. It is impossible for a hen to turn into a rooster (or vice-versa) but if they do not produce enough of the right hormones they can begin to act...
Thank you for the first post very helpful!
