Need help sexing my duckksss.

[CherpNPeep]

I need help sexing my ducks. The 3 together in the back are Muscovy ducklings and the one in the front is a Welsh Harlequin. I just need a confirmation that the welsh is a female.

 

[Quacking Pigeon]

The Welsh Harlequin looks like a drake to me.

Oh.. Would it be a problem if one of the ducklings are female?

 

[Miss Lydia]

It will if you only have 1 female it’s best to have at least 3 females for every drake you have so the girls don’t get over mated.

That's what I'm worried about. I heard stories that the female died due to drowning or being picked on so I'm hoping all my muscovies are Drakes.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Hope so too Are they getting along better now? They look pretty content

They are but then Peep gets territorial when he's in his little kiddy pool.

Oh and I saw the ducklings biting the yellow ducklings tail.

They may pick on each other some but if they have plenty of yard to run around in and forage hopefully it won’t be too bad. Do you have a coop for them for night time?

Yes I do, they're in the same one as Peep the oldest duck.
