Check out duckies head

[Kelllynnl]

im probably just being paranoid but 1 of my ducklings head is very patchy. Idk if it’s just feathers coming in... the other 2 do not have it. They are a little over 4 weeks. Also if anyone can hear any female or male noises??? I can’t tell at all

They sure are cute. One looks to be smaller is it younger? they all look very healthy to me. Do you ever notice the other 2 nibbling on the one with the sparse feathers? do you see any prickly pin feathers coming in? It may just be that down is coming out and feathers are beginning to come in . I can only hear peeping. Have you tried picking them up separate and walking away from the group sometimes that will give you an idea on sex the females quack loud the drakes will have a raspy quack but it still maybe to too early.

Just feathers coming in on the one duckling - they are still a bit young for 'voice sexing'.

I do see them nibble at each other but it just looks like they are helping clean each other, nothing obsessively. And they all freak out when one is not in the group but I can’t hear anything definite either way but I have no experience with ducklings so I can’t tell. The large one I think is a Rouen cross and was the only baby to hatch so I bought the other 2 khakis. I think they were born 2-3 days after

Keep waiting for voice changes..Also Ducklings get pretty funny looking as they lose down to replace with feathers...

Urghhhh. I’m so bad at waiting. I feel like a child. These are my first duckies after all so maybe it will get easier the more I get lol

Voice changes at around 6 to 8 weeks depending on Breeds..

Of course the more you get the easier. Like having kids you always learn on the first one then relax more the more you have. lol
