Hi all. I have 6 ducks, 4 are female. One of the females is about a year and a half and was an amazing layer up until she had started a nest and an animal found the eggs early this summer. She stopped laying after that and hasn't started up again. The other 3 females are going on 8 months...
Haha, I guess it'll be a wait and see. In the meantime I'll try integrating the young one with the other female for periods of time without the Drake around to terrorize it. Thank you!
Here is a closer picture. I wasn't sure whether it was male or female, but when the male appeared to be trying to mate with her I assumed it was a female. I've only had ducks for about a year so am still learning a lot.
I bought a few ducklings about 3 months ago and only 1 survived. She has been separated from my adult pair and I'm now trying to introduce her so she can stay in their coop and run. For at least a month she has been in a small fence in the yard that the adults roam during the day and at night...
We just purchased two ducks and are trying to determine if they are male or female. We have one female pekin already who is 3 months old but definitely has the loud, distinctive quack. The 2 we purchased are supposed to be 6 months old and one is a Pekin and one is a Khaki Campbell Runner mix...
