Help. Sick duck- muscovy

[Jessi1210]

Separate the Ducks from the Chickens...Drakes will try to breed Chickens and can kill them because they have a penis...How Many Ducks do you have?...Hen too Drake ratio.....

I have four ducklings that I am unsure of the sex yet.
The two drakes I got as babies, I wanted girls but got two boys.
That's why I purchased four more babies- can't seem to find any that are sexed.

Hopefully the majority of the ducklings are females.

When the duck was biting the chicken they were free ranging.

My ducks like to take a bite of chicken if the chickens get in their space it seems to be pretty natural

Drakes will try and mate a chicken if there aren't any ducks for them to mate. So just keep an eye on things. So far none of my drakes I have had over the years have tried to mate a hen they have all been kept pretty busy with their female ducks.

Yeah- hopefully some of these ducklings are girls so we can solve this issue.
