I bought a duck, believed to be a female pekin. She is now a few weeks old.
Saturday the 15th I bought a duckling from a feed store to keep her company. They get along very well and have stayed together since then. My problem is, I had the new one vent sexed and we think it is a male. I would really not like to have any males, to avoid mating and potential multiplying. I've been weighing my options... do I get rid of the "male" and buy a female? If I do, will the other get depressed? I would like my female to have a friend for when I move her outside, but right now I'm so lost...
These are my first ducks, as much research as I've done, I'm still at a loss on this... HELP!!
