I still don't know. I am thinking both Swedish are males the runner is a male and the Rouen is a female?

Sounds like more girls are in your future. Are you going to rehome any of your drakes?

Not if I can find enough females to satisfy them. My kids each picked them out as pets and I would probably never be forgiven if I had to rehome any.
Which brings up another question. How many females would I need to make my males happy? Any chance they would be fine with just having a duck each?

Not likely, I believe Metzers has a male to female ratio chart on his website.

5:1! I don't want 18 ducks. Anyone want to adopt a couple of kids? 1 comes with a black Swedish drake. The other comes with a black Swedish drake and a fawn and. White runner drake.

Soooo if you have 3 males I'd say you need about 15 females! And they might still have a favorite they fight over or pick on.

Yup that's what it looks like. I'm having a hard enough time finding 3-4 ducks let alone 14. Besides, I don't think i really want that many.
