Duckies!
Hey guys. This isn’t kinda just a random small question but I was just wondering how old my ducks can be for them to start mating. My most recent hatch gave me one Pekin, and one Rouen. The Rouen is officially 1 week old today, and she’s already huge. I tried vent sexing them both but I had absolutely no idea all the details of how to do it...I just put them belly up and gently pressed 3 fingers on her belly and nothing happened. First of all How old will they need to be before they mature so I can tell by the tail feathers whether it’s a drake or not, and second, how old until they can mate? I know those breeds don’t typically go broody but I have a few others separated that are also their age.
