Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good site or book to learn more about this breed.
I have 6 that are 13 weeks old, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to end up with a good ratio of male female. But I dread the thought of parting with any. So I'd like to research their mating habits, etc and if there's some way to keep my females safe and protect them from overmating. I won't try of it's just not doable, and I'm fantasizing. I just want to be certain before I separate them. They're such a little family, they stick close together, and they're all sort of quirky and weird.
I should have done more research when I ordered them. Had I known the importance of the ratio I would have paid the extra cost and bought them by sex
.
BTW do all males get the curled tail? We have a muscovy drake on our lake they doesn't.
