We have 16 (started with 24, sold 8). One has developed the curled tail feather, but there are other males that have not done so yet. They are almost 9 weeks old now.
We'd like to end up with about 3-4 ducks, and one drake. Other than the curled tail feather, we can't tell yet by looking...
I just put our ducklings on aspen shavings. (We got the ducklings yesterday morning and put them on newspaper and paper toweling.) These are very fine shavings and they ARE eating them. I finally put newspaper over top, but they are still eating any shavings they find.
Do I need to go back...
