    Too or hen?

    Just caught out ‘sweetie girl’ mounting one of our female ducks. We wondered if her breed was different and if that is why she is so much bigger ( twice as tall as her sister the same age), but now we are wondering if she’s a roo? they are all 5 months old. The black one started doing...
