So I asked a couple days ago about leeches, and I guess no one noticed, but does anyone know if leeches in our pond will be a problem for our little girls once we let them go in the pond? I don't want them to get hurt, but I'd like them to have access to the pond when they free range.
I was not sure so I did a little research and guess what I found..." Ducks are among the largest avian predators of leeches." So there should be no problem with them in the ducks pond. In fact, they might be short lived if you have enough ducks.So I asked a couple days ago about leeches, and I guess no one noticed, but does anyone know if leeches in our pond will be a problem for our little girls once we let them go in the pond?

And an adventure it will be. I have a total of 20 ducks (Khakis, Blue Swedish and Cayugas) and they are truely the entertainment in my mixed flock of chickens ducks and geese. Have you determine their sexes yet?

six weeks is way too early for visual sexing. at around 10-15 weeks you may see some signs. The bill on the males will become lighter in color and they may begin to develop a drake feather which is a curled feather on their rear end. Also, the male's quack will become more raspy, almost like he has a sore throat. Often the male Khaki will also develop a much darker head than the female and may also develop very attractive adult feathering while the females will stay a khaki-tan color.
