1st time duck owner

[sgrijalva22]

Hi all! I am a 1st time duck owner. I have a 3 week old kahaki and a 2 week old roeun. When can they go outside? Any other useful info would be appreciated. Thanks!

They can go outside a any age but with supervision, But if your asking when they can Live outside 7 - 10 weeks old. (oh and BTW khaki campbells are the "BEST") If you have any other questions just PM me anytime, or just ask on here.

Also Welcome To BYC!

Thank you! I took them outside yesterday with supervision and they loved it. We are in the process of building their house and little pond. is their an easy way to sex them?

Well... There are many ways but i prefer these 2. 1.males tend to be smaller and females with have longer wing feathers, 2. This one is almost 100% accurate: Here are a few links to videos showing you how to "Vent Sex" these little cuties.

It does take a bit of time the older they are, but i know she said it gets harder to do the older they are, But i have been able to do it all the way up to about 7 weeks old. Good Luck!
