Around 6 months is when we noticed our males curl.Hey all at what age do you find that the drakes get the curly tail feathers ??? My two were sexed at a week old by a friend who is an area poultry expert but right now that both seem to be hens and I can't really tell by their voices any thoughts

Here are a few of my kids... 10 weeks old at this point and I just adore them... This was their first day lose in the chicken yard with the chickens. They do have their own area that is penned off within the chicken pen and I have been keeping them in there just for ease as I have a cast on my leg and my husband has been caring for them most of the time. Yesterday I decided that I could let them lose in the yard now that they know which area is for them and I can easily herd them back if necessary.
Tommy is the duck with the lighter colored bill.... Fiona has the darker bill

2 pekin's here! I have 1 drake(Aflac) and 1 hen(Flo) who is currently sitting on her first "litter"... I'm new so I don't know much terminology, lol. Est. due date is June 10th...I have questions though. They are in a pen with a rooster and 6 hens (chickens, who all free range during the day)
1. Will the baby ducks be ok with all of them?
2. I have a kiddie pool, is it true they can drown?
3. The pool, should I keep it clean or do the ducks like it dirty?
4. Can I put fish in the kiddie pool? lol
5. Can the ducks free range as well once they hatch?
Hope know one thinks these are stupid questions but only one way to learn...ask. Thanks for your help!
