Kristof is such a funny duck! Elsa (one of my anconas) has a drake feather, so looks like we have a drake in the bunch. Looke out to see a little curled feather.

That doesn't look like a drake? how old??

This is what someone else said. She (or he) was vent sexed twice so I think she is a she, but could be a he and then he will be dinner! Lol. But her feet touch when standing and aren't far apart or super thick like they say boys are and my Ancona who looks like has a drake feather quacks a lot, so who know. I figure when eggs come I'll know

will try to get a good one with te anconas

How old? while i don't have that breed my drakes don't make anywhere near the noise of the females.. it's a very understated, hoarse quack.

How long do Muskovys take to mature? I was surprised with these 5 ducklings and am wondering if I should sell them now as ducklings or maybe show them in March at Delmarva, that show seems to attract a lot of waterfowl.

Looks like a duck to me has a girly face.

Here is a picture of all if them together. Elsa (the drake) is in the middle but here feather is blocked by Kristof.

Do muscovys get drake feathers? If they do Kristof so far doesn't have one.

This is what is throwing me off, but there is for sure a drake feather. The sound is deffinitly horser, but it's still a good quack, that's why I thought girl, I've waffled back and forth, but there is a curly feather, so I think that's my answer. All my research for anconas say it sound be a soft raspy sound.... So I think I got a freak! Lol

Ok so she has stopped laying for the past three days, and she has 8 eggs, but she has been sitting on some of the eggs for 10 days, and then was adding more to her nest as she went, when will they hatch or will it be a staggered hatch and any tips for during incubation
Thanks Reece
