Fighting

[Lospablos]

They are very handsome I see at least the one in front (that the curled tail feathers shows in the picture) is a Drake andI’m see a little bit of the others tail curled so might be also a Drake- can you get pictures of the others that show their whole body too?
And Have you listened carefully to their voices for sex identification?
If you pick one up and walk away from the others, they will usually start yelling so you can hear their voice

They all sound the same. I wonder if they’re all boys. We thought one might be a female. And thank you

I have a video of them talking but don’t know how to share it

They are beautiful. From pictures I can see and confirm two drakes. I can't tell the 3rd one any way to get a side picture of each one?

Looks like 3 drakes except the one on the left might possibly not be a Drake because I can’t really see the tail as well in that one
But as you say, they all three sound the same so it is likely three drakes which is probably going to be fine, as long as they don’t see or hear any females to fight over. Of course, they will occasionally fight among themselves to set their pecking order. Just watched that nobody gets injured. They’ll probably be ok.

Thanks everyone. It’s crazy how attached we can be to ducks lol

Hi.

I can confirm you have at least 2 drakes.

The third one is hard to see, but if all of them sound the same, then your 3 ducks are definitively boys...

► You would notice if you had a girl : duck hens quack - so are very loud compared with drakes.

Drakes, instead, have a raspy, kind of froggish voice...
They, in fact, sound like their voice is broken, you know?

Thanks everyone. It’s crazy how attached we can be to ducks lol

Can you recognize each one your ducks, since they look the same?

If not, you could buy coloured leg bands for them, so it is easier for you to monitor them... and you would know what duck to grab/isolate/care for if needed!

Trying everything but two are still bullying one and they won’t eat dry food anymore. Not sure what to do.

Could you get a picture of everyone tail from a side view please. I'm curious if you may have 1 female. In what manner do the other two bully the one?

Try making a mash of their feed or fermenting it. My ducks love for me to make soup of their feed in the evening before bed. I just take whats left and add water they slurp it up. Try a small amount to start in case they don't like it and if your not doing this now you might want to have more than one feeder.

Will do. They will jump on him in the pool. Bite his neck, but mostly chase him away. It’s not all day but occasionally throughout the day.
