Is that drake feathers I see?

[Sheila83]

Ducks are about 3 months old and the 2 thats I thought were females look like they might be getting drake feathers. I'm a first time duck owner so I have no clue what I'm looking at.

3 drakes can live together fine, it's when you bring in the females that trouble starts.

I always heard 2 to 1. 2 hens to one drake. You can usually find adult ducks on Craigslist. I know i did that once

Also you can tell who is gonna be what gender before they get adult feathers. Hens have a loud "quack" noise. Drakes have a low raspy noise

They all sounded the same so I couldn't tell the difference. Lol. And I don't want male ducks, I wanted to reproduce for meat....
