I just wanted to reintroduce myself in the duck section. I've asked a couple of questions here before but never as a duck owner. I've spent the last month or so trying to find Indian Runners and I finally found an ad on craigslist for 1 adult male named Jack and some ducklings, for free!! So we took the hour drive and came home with my new ducks. We are so excited! We've never had ducks before.
I'm not sure if you can tell the sex of the younger ones. They seem to be really young still. They don't really have very many feathers. I've researched a little about sexing but it all seems kind of iffy.
They are also really nervous. I'm not sure if that's just because they are in a new place or if they were just never handled. So I'm hoping that I can make them feel more comfortable.
Any advice for a new duck owner with nervous babies is appreciated! And I would love to know if you can sex tell the sex and what color they might be!
So here they are:
