    Can someone tell me what these male ducks are?

    Agree on Khaki Campbells, and also agree that they should be separated from your chicken hens. Very dangerous, especially with few / no duck hens. Speaking of.. 2 females is not enough for 2 males. Boy ducks need multiple girls each to prevent overmating. Typically 3, 4, even 5+ females per 1...

    Gender of two geese

    The “abababa” sound from the Sebastopol sounds like my Buff girl. But I’ve never heard my African girl make that tire-screeching sound before, omg! That’s the Chinese?? I want to say that’s a male sound, but I do also think their appearance is a bit female-like.

    If you could get video of their voices, upload it elsewhere, and link it here, that would be great.

    Magpie x Ancona sexing?

    Looking into it a bit, it seems the magpie bill sexing theory hasn’t been tested very much. I think the answer is that, when older, females lean into dark & dull colored bills, and males light & bright. But this is true for other breeds, too. It’s unrelated to their bill pattern as babies...

    Can geese get into tall raised beds?

    Yeah, my 2 will reach into & up to whatever they can. They could jump up to reach something higher, but would certainly prefer not to. If they can’t see what’s in the beds, they’ll never be tempted to jump up. Mine can reach up about 3’, and stick their necks into something about 1’, I’d say.

    Girls or boys Muscovy duck

    I thought by now you could tell by weight alone, no? Muscovy hens are half the size of drakes. Hens around 5-6 lbs, and drakes can be well over 10 lbs. Voice description sounds like female to me. Visually, I’m uncertain.

    Introducing TUDYBOOK - The Tudy Coloring Book Generator

    As an artist, I’m okay with this. It’s 1 AI, in 1 community, designed for 1 specific purpose - coloring pages of Tudy. If it was larger, or broader, I might be more opposed. But as it is right now, I think it’s okay.

    Just had to put down a bobcat :hmm It hurts, but I’d rather mourn the cat than mourn my birds.

    Ordered saxony ducks but I think one is a buff

    Seems to be, yes. How’d he look before getting his male coloration?

    Do all breeds of ducks dislike being picked up and carried around?

    I’ve had all different breeds and many mixed breeds. None of my ducks truly like being picked up. A few will tolerate it more than others, but would still rather I left them be. It’s just how ducks are, nothing personal. My ducks will follow me, sit by me, eat from my hand.. but any approach...

    Ducks that don't Die Horribly?

    I haven’t had my birdies long enough for that, yet. But, we just passed the 2 year mark with no tragedies! And, I’m currently working on building a new, secure duck coop. AND my eldest boy is approaching 8 years of age. So.. Good chances, I hope, in the coming years, I’ll get to see him pass...

    Duck Hen mounting another duck hen…

    Yep, it’s normal. Ducks are very crazy. It can be dominance, but for my ducks, it’s usually play-mating. My girls were all-over each other during their first year, even with their 2 drakes. They’ve calmed down a lot since, but they will still play-mate occasionally.

    Ducks

    Yep, these are both males. Females would be all-brown and have dark grey bills.

    Does my duck have a DSD condition or is she actually a male?

    I agree with cheezenkwackers, I’m thinking you may’ve mixed your duckies around. I don’t see anything that screams “male” yet in any of your ducks. You should certainly be able to tell by voice now. You can upload a video of voices elsewhere, like to YouTube, and link it here. I would say your...

    Does my goose have angel wing?

    Angel wing is something that occurs in young waterfowl when they’re first growing in their wings. So, she’s well past the age to develop that. Her wing feathers do look rather ratty though, yes. I just had a ducky with similar-looking wings. Took her a long while to molt, but she finally did a...
