I am still not sure on these three - Fellow wants a drake and I want to keep a drake (and of course if any ducks) two are still flyers and are somewhat smaller - but still far larger than the definate and easily ID'd females from another flock. Birds from 3 different flocks will give me genetic diversity to play with.

So my question dear scobivites is..........all males? Or who is or ain't! HELPPPPP! LOL!



Same duck top and bottom right in this pic



Not the best pics I'm afraid.

I am gonna have to vote with all drakes....the feet size confirms it. Ducks are smaller and just more "petite" looking in generally next to the gargantuan drakes.
 
I was kinda leaning that way. What has been confusing me is that 2 of them are not that much bigger than adult ducks that I know are female. And while not lil feet, not as near the big flippers. Body shape, leg thickness and length. If big hearty, thickish girls - not a bad thing to retain. If runty drakes - good to cull out. What stinks is that would make it 7 for 7 drakes and 6 were supposed to be ducks....Bleahhhhhh!

You can teach an old dog new tricks.......
Just takes longer ...........
And a bigger 2 X 4!
