You will know by how they respond to each other. Noodling each other will be normal.

I put them all in together and so far, no battles. Meet TaunTaun and jabba the duck. They’re mallards.

No clue none of the feed stores that have the sexed ducks had any left. So hoping for at least 1 girl?? But who knows It was slim pickings but I wanted them to be around the same age.

Well they are adorable that’s for sure!
