All girls???

[monsterspaz]

I'm new at raising ducks. Help me out... My ducks are all about 8 weeks old, and none of them have curly tail feathers. Could this mean that they are all girls, or are the boys just not growing curly feathers yet? When I ordered my ducks from the local feed store, I figured I'd get an approximate 50/50 mix.

It can take a while for the curly feathers to come in. At their age, the quack method will work best for you. Girl ducks quack, and boy ducks kind of rasp. Here's a good video showing what I mean:

The first one is male, and the second is female. Same for the ducklings.

I agree the voice method is far more accurate for ducks of that age. I knew my drake call was a drake by 5-6wks he still has no drake curl and is only just turning green and grey up the chest(proper mallard male colours)
