Identify my duck?

[SoonersDucks]

Highly unlikely. But fertilised tastes and looks the same as unfertilised—the only difference is a ring around the white spot (blastodisc) on the yolk.

So you just gotta eat them before they start to develop? Or how does that work?

 

[Miss Lydia]

They aren’t going to develop unless your duck goes broody an you let her sit on them or you buy an incubator and hatch them your self

 

[Miss Lydia]

You go out and collect eggs daily.

You go out and collect eggs daily.

I know I need to collect daily, but not well versed on the workings of what happens inside the egg once fertilized. Didn’t know if it had to be sat on to develop or if just sitting on my counter top would develop but not live...

 

[Miss Lydia]

Nope the egg has to be incubated before it develops into a duckling. Only way to learn is to ask questions that’s why we’re here to help if we can

Looks like a Khaki and a Pekin, both probably male (the khaki has a dark head, and that Pekin is either fat or built really square—like a male)

For surety of sexing, ducks say "Kack Kack Kack Kack Kack!" and drakes say "Huk huk huk"

The white one looks just like the ones we have here. I believe it is a Pekin duck. I read that only the females quack, the males make noises but not a quack. I have A LOT to learn about ducks lol. They were our neighbors but they like us better and we have a lake so they gave them to us lol

It’s cool (telling my age) to find people near you on here.

Two of my ducks I got from a family that bought them for their daughter around easter. They knew nothing about them other than they bought them at Atwoods Home and Ranch store. I figured they were runner ducks, as that is what my Atwoods was selling... but now that they are grown... they look nothing like the other 5 that I purchased from the store... any help identifying them would be great!


Willow, the white one circled and River the brown one circled... also how can I sex them now that they are this big?

They are so beautiful . I would love to have a Pekin but I have my beautiful muscovys so maybe one day I would really love to try to raise a couple
