Sexing Ducks

[TheAmundsons]

The dark one quacks really loud (all the time!) and the lighter one sounds raspier and doesn’t talk as often...this seems backwards from what everyone is saying here! Haha

Actually that looks like a Rouen and if you can send a picture out in natural light?

I’ll try to get one tonight!

When it was born, it was completely brown. All the pictures I’ve seen of very young Rouens all have some yellow on them. Does that change anything?

The Khaki Campbell is a hen. Another picture of the white one would be helpful. Also, where did you get them?

This is a really dumb question from someone who has only raised chickens, but don't ducks have a penis? Could you look in the vent for that appendage?

ETA: it's ok to laugh at my question.

That just makes things awkward between you and your duck. It's hard to stay "friends" after an experience like that .

Yes you can if so inclined. Ever wrestled a duck onto it's back to look at it's privates? lol

 

[TheAmundsons]

Ill try to get more pictures of both in natural light when I get home tonight! We also think the light duck has a niacin deficiency, so we’re starting to add some to the water tonight.

We got them at tractor supply. We had planned on just chickens, but Dan saw the ducks and had to get some. Haha you’d think he was 2 years old, not 27!
