I am so happy. We've had the 4, 8 week old ducks in the run with the chickens, but we separated them with a chain link fence for 1 week so everyone could get used to each other. We let the ducks out Saturday morning with the chickens. No problems so far. But the awesome part is the ducks still went into their coop at night!! I did not want to be chasing them around the run in the dark. We have a pond in the run for them and I don't think they are going in it, seem too scared, they are scared of everything! I'm worried about them flying away, my husband saw one get up about 4 feet. Not sure if I should clip wings or not.

Hello,
tomorrow we are picking up 2 little K.C ... I have chickens these will be our first ducks.. I have a question I am sure has been asked before. At what age do you know if you have a drake or a hen? I don't care they are just going to be fun loving pets getting to eat all the bugs they want in my garden. But I am curious.

Turned my half dozen two month old KCs loose to forage ect with scovy bantam Americana and silver dwarf rabbits. hope they have or learn like rest to stay close to and in my dogs territory like rest have (it seems to stop cars going by seeing them all follow one of the dogs around, when preds around. of course they all scatter when i try to snap a pic and that they love the dogs when dogs do chase them on occasion for fun, but act terrified of me when i fed and cared for them inside for month. Extremely Stupid seeming, but Beautiful and neat to watch frantically scamper around (they run not waddle) like swarm or school, were my scovy just mosey along in lines. some have white lines and between them blue patches,on each side of wings..??? choosing male breeder advice anyone?

Sorry, pretty sure KC don't have the white & blue on wings Rouen females do.

Watched the vid on sexing of the KCs, by Metzlers, and I tried it out on George, my little KC.....I think I have a Georgia, which is great, but now I'll only have 1 drake for 6 hens.  If my one drake meets with some ill fate, I'll be drake-less.  Not good.  No one around here has KC ducks, so getting a single drake duck for the flock will be problematic. 

Just gotta keep the little male that is coming in the male all hale and hearty until I can breed more KCs. 

Where are you located?

I'm quite impressed with this KCs foraging and toughness for such a young duck. Was wondering....how soon did your KCs take to water? I tried when she was younger but she just seemed frightened by the water and wanted out, wouldn't attempt to swim or anything. The duckling is now almost 4 wks old.
