Sexing a mix breed

[Miss Lydia]

Loud quacking = female and curled tail feather and raspy voice= drake. Right now my 3 youngest Runners love to quack. It's so cute.

Okie has no drake curl but his voice sounds like Beasley’s they sound like two frogs

 

[Miss Lydia]

So Okie is F/W Runner too? I’m confused tell me the names and breeds that go with them. Drakes can grow their drake feathers and then loose them. My adult Runner drake had one this spring for about 3 months then it disappeared.

Ok Beasley is fawn white runner drake we’ve decided
Then waddles is fawn/ white runner in question no curl but raspy voice
Then I have an angel winged Rouen named syrup ( I have weird kids lol)
Then I have a perfect Rouen named Robin the Rouen are girls

 

[Miss Lydia]

Who’s Okie?lol

 

[J99]

Who’s Okie?lol

Hahahhaha I think that was supposed to say “ ok He” lol

And now btw I’m freaking out because I believe my little chick has mareks disease

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is this a new chick you just got? Now I get it. So your thinking both Runner are drakes? Could be an the one just doesn’t have his drake feather yet. Lots of info about Mareks on BYC if you type into search. I hope it’s not!

 

[J99]

Here’s my babies
No it’s a ten to 12 week chick I’ve raised

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is that your sick one? @casportpony maybe able to help you determine for sure if it's Mareks.

Does one of your Runners have grey head or is that the lightening?
