We recently got: Rouens that we think are about 10 weeks. Got them from TSC. Unsure if we have more drakes than hens.

Hi! welcome to BYC. At 10 weeks old, you should be able to tell. The hen ducks will quack loudly, the drakes make more of a raspy croaky kind of sound. the drakes also develop a curled up tail feather. Drakes can be very rough on hens when mating and for sure you do not want to keep more drakes than hens. One drake is good with every 5 - 7 hens.
