Never actually seen the penis and wouldn’t know where to look. Does it hang out or does it retract? I’m embarrassed to say I’m ignorant when it comes to that

Supposedly the one with the dark feather in the rear is a drake. I also have one guinea and I don’t think she’s laying such big eggs. The interesting thing is that when I find 2 eggs, they’re next to each other

Not a new layer this is her 2nd year laying eggs

Peking

Yes it’s got the curly tail and sounds like a male and my ducks are Peking

I have 2 ducks only one is definitely a female and I was sure the other one was a male since he mounts the female regularly. I too have been finding 2 eggs a day, for several months. Not everyday but often enough. I’m starting to think that the male that has all the signs of being one, perhaps...

I think Kentucky laws only require a license if you sell more than 60 dozens per week.

I feed my ducks and chickens at the end of the day inside the coop, once they are in I shut the door and they stay until the morning. They fee range during the day, but when I call them for the evening meal they all come running inside the coop.

They get worms, sunflower seeds, flax and kitchen scraps once a day and they free range all day long. I've not seen any eggs yet, and they sleep together with my chickens since the day I brought them home which were 2 days old. I'm looking forward to their eggs. Loved your story

my 2 pekin ducks are 6 months old, beautiful and healthy. When shall I expect egg production from them and where do they lay eggs? Do I need to make a special nesting arrangement for them? Or will they use same nesting boxes as chickens?

Nice coop!

I had a similar problem where some would not go in to roost in the coop. They preferred sleeping perched on trees So at night when their vision is at their worst I picked them up and placed them one by one on the perches, until they got used it. It took about 3 nights of doing so, until that...

Forgot to mention that they get a steady supply of ground up egg shells
