7 Drakes...

[Jayellebee]

I got 10 straight run ducklings from my local feed store about 8 weeks ago. I have tried voice sexing them all and I’m pretty sure I have 7 drakes and 3 hens.
Any advice on what to do? Should I try getting more hens? Or rehoming the males? I’m a little scared to do that, since I don’t know what kind of homes they’re going to
At 8 weeks, is it possible that some may be female and haven’t quite found their voices yet?
Thank you!

Yes that is possible I would wait till they get their final feathers and then decide to either rehome all but 1 drake or get more sexed ducklings from a hatchery to balance out to 3 hens per drake.
