Took some pictures on Tuesday when they were exactly 7 weeks old. I'm still not sure as to what sex they are
Hamsteak and Bigfoot.
Lyla-cakes (I hope it's a girl lol) and Bigfoot. She was supposed to be blue and white too, but as you can see.. she isn't. It's fine though because...
They're all so beautiful. Love all the pics
@Frank your little ones look great. They are getting so big!
Mine are 7 weeks old today. I still can't tell if they're male of female because they all still look the same size to me. Need to get some pics!
Thankies Frank. They sure are goofy and a lot of fun to watch. I have to look into the pea thing, but thank you for letting me know. Never heard that before!
I tried the peas in the tub when they were smaller, but they're so big now they can hardly dive in the tub
Thanks for the tip about the grit! I will make sure whenever they have anything other than starter they have the grit available. If I let them free range will they be able to find their...
So they are 4 weeks old today and there isn't much difference in size so I didn't bother taking any pics for size comparison
I will try at 5 weeks if I see any difference in sizes!
Here they are at about 3 weeks old. I'm almost positive that the lighter white-ish one on the bottom is a girl...
Congrats on your first duck eggs!

2 chicken eggs which looks like would be 1 of your duck eggs!
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4...
6 weeks... EEK, 2 1/2 weeks to wait seems like forever! haha
1 of them was larger then the other 2, but it seems like the 2 caught up to the larger one now that they are 3 1/2 weeks old
These are from my first bunch of waterfowl so I don't really have any experience with them, but all three Muscovies are supposed to be blue & white... we shall see
Sorry you lost another little one. How would you prevent them from breeding in the winter again? Keep the drake in a bachelor pad...
They sure are calm compared to the pekins and the khaki. The pekins are definitely the more social (and vocal) of the bunch! I'm still clueless as to what sex they are. They will be 4 weeks old on Tuesday. I will take pictures on that day and post them... hopefully by then I might have an idea...
