Hello buff goose guy! I haven't been on in awhile either! My Rouen drake that was I'll did pull through and is still just as cute as ever. He tries to dominate everybody but is a complete gentleman when it comes to mating. Glad you stopped by to say hello.

What is a good ratio for males to females to get fertile eggs.

 

[buff goose guy]

any ratio can get you some fertile eggs, it matter about the aggression that males have in breeding.

a good ratio is two to three females per male ( this appllies to most ducks )

I have 3 females and 1 male. But he seems rather "lazy" when it comes to breeding. Maybe he will get the hang of it as spring goes on.

We got these 2 about 7 weeks ago. Any guesses on whether they're male or female??

 

[buff goose guy]

at 7 weeks u should be able to voice sex.

If hey quack it's a girl if it's more raspy sounding it's a boy. That's the only way I can describe it.

So cool! Mine are about the same age, and we'll be finishing their new 'quarters' tomorrow...It will be so nice to see them run around. They're almost too big for their tub now.
