information on wood ducks needed

[roosterhavoc]

That’s what I was confused about, because I did think it was past the point where the eye color changes (but I wasn’t sure) & in pictures you can see the yellow ring forms before the color change, & then it changes after to red too. There isn’t a ring or anything yet though. Is there something wrong with it, or could it be a hybrid or maybe a Mandarin duck instead? It looks just like a wood duck, so I always thought it was, but I’m not entirely sure. I know Mandarins look really similar & they don’t have the eye ring or eye color change. What do you think?

I’m not sure. I’ve only messed around with wild wood ducks.

Okay, thanks for your help anyways.

Did it end up being a hen? At what point could you tell definitively? I have two that look like your "seven weeks ago" pics and I'm very impatiently waiting to find out what sex mine are. I'm hoping one is a boy.
