    Duck voices

    I have 3 nine week old ducks, one is a pekin who has a very defined quack, the others are a magpie and a golden 300 whose voiced are high pitched and kind of scratchy. My question is are the two with high pitched scratchy voices drakes or is it to soon to tell?

    Ducklings and Grit

    I have 5 week old ducklings that have access to grass most of the day. They do dig in the dirt, my question is do I still need to provide grit for them and if so what do I give them? Thanks in advance :)
