Ok, bear with me!
We are new to the duck world. Before this we were just chicken people!
I posted earlier today about our 2 new muscoveys, which we pretty much have determined are boys.
1)Are ducks like chickens in that we have only hens and one hen basically acted male and found a friend that she acted like a rooster too.
We saw the slightly larger duck(angel wing) jump on the other one and go to town.
I know chickens will do this, but had no clue with ducks...... will a male ride another male? No jokes, etc. please!
2)Hubby was checking out pics of Muscoveys and we found what was labeled as pics of a 1 yr old/still immature it said. If that is the case..... ours are at least 12 months old if not older.
I read on a post here, that they should start laying 6-7 months old?
So, if the slightly smaller one ends up being a female... she should start laying in a month or so after they settle in?
If we get no eggs, then I am totally assuming we have 2 males. I will be back tomorrow with better age for them.
