Hello all, first time posting as well as first time duck mom. I have a 4 ducks. 2 anacona and 2 Indian runner (supposed to be, think I may have 1 wrong breed) 1 Indiana runner was supposed to be sex female and one sex male. I am worried that I have all make ducks minus the one. I have tried to voice sex without luck. They are 10 weeks oldView attachment 2221542View attachment 2221543

Thank you so much! It is funny you say male as that was the supposed sex female. Here are baby photos as I looked at the apple duck babies and mine didn't have black run on head

Hi, if they all are boys I don't even know if they can all live together. If not in harmony, probably. I am not wanting 1 female with all males

Sometimes they come completely white.

"Light-Phase Silver Appleyard"

Either that or its a WH.

Hatcheries are good at sending "extras" to get rid of excess males. I'm guessing you gave away your females. They sure are all beautiful ducks though!

Have you heard any loud QUACKs at all? Girls should definitely be quacking by 10 weeks. And within another week or so, you should also start to see the tail feathers curl up on the boys. I think most varieties are around 10-12 weeks when the drake feather appears.

Drakes can do ok together, but a lone female with more than one drake will likely be over-mated (when the time comes). And the boys will fight each other over her too, which can cause injuries. Good luck!
