All boys?

[mertime]

Hello there everyone! Just found this site and its very helpful. We are new to raising ducks and got these 3 swedish runners at a few days old back in April. Because of their curled tails, I think they are all boys. Can anyone else give me thoughts or suggestions?

Drakes, sorry...

Can you do drake flocks like you can do rooster flocks Ravynscroft? Or would that not work?

Drake flocks can work, yes... depends on their group personalities... when they grow up together, better chance of success... still, *sometimes* it doesn't work out... but they're always worth a try if they are pets...

A friend of mine got 3 at the same time and hers are all drakes as well. I hope since they are pets, they will all stay friendly. Thanks everyone

With no females around at all, your chances are extremely good... just keep your eye out for any behavior changes when hormones kick into high gear...
