My KC are almost 2 weeks old and they are so huge. I have one that looks like it has a ring around it's neck that is lighter color. The other one seems a little bit darker. Already they are very different personalities.

I have three extra drakes, morristown east TN. they are completely free range, until i get energy time and space to butcher them, only because they are broke up into two groups now of two males chasing around one female,fighting each other and male scovy now trying to mate with female scovy

We just hatched out a kc a couple days ago. We're hoping she is a she so our drake will no longer be lonely. He is free-ranging and can interact through a fence with our two month old ducklings but he has visibly been miserable since we sold his drake-friend. the duckling, 'twister', will hopefully complete him. She/he is named that due to hatching with a crooked neck. With vitamin e and something that starts with an n she is all cured of the twist.

Hello everyone,

I bought my 3 week old KC's two weeks ago and I am in love! I have never had chickens or ducks before and I started out with a few chickens about a month ago and then I added another 4 x 5 week old chickens, but I couldn't resist getting 2 ducks.

I have always had this notion from being young that I always wanted 2 little ducks when I had the opportunity - so I finally went for it! I have been ill for some time and will be a while before I am better, so I thought what better therapy!

I have been keeping my ducklings in a dog crate in the kitchen and I clean them out everyday. At first I just put them into another box whilst I did it. They were young and the weather wasn't so good. The second week the weather started improving, so I made them a temporary pen outside on a patch of grass with a little paddling pool - they loved it!

I had to keep carrying them from the kitchen to outside, they didn't like it very much but once I had got them, they cuddled up to me whilst I transported them.

Well this week, I made a bigger outdoor pen for them. So now I keep them in at night in the kitchen and in the morning I just open their crate and they follow me outside and then they go in their outdoor pen for a swim and I take them foraging round the garden too. They follow me everywhere now and don't like to be away from me for too long. This concerns me a bit for when I put them outside in their pen at night. I am waiting until they have more feathers before I do this. I am such a softie with them!

They love peas, strawberries and lettuce, so no problem getting them to follow me. When I sit outside on the patio, the peep peep at me to come out of their pen and they just want to come and sit near me. They are so funny and soooo cute!!


This was their first temporary pen, they were about 3 - 4 weeks old here.

I don't know yet if they are male or female, but I have named them Jasmin and Rosie and if one ends up being a male I will have to change the names lol

I took another coupld of photos yesterday, I just need to try and upload them.

Loving all of your posts on here. I have been reading all 87 pages of this thread before I joined this morning

Here are a couple more pics of them on the patio with me. I had left some egg shells outside to bake dry in the sun, but they thought it would be a good idea to make a mess with them




I am sooo going to miss them in the kitchen in the evenings and at breakfast time, making their happy little peep, peep noises whilst they have their supper or breakfast

Yes - voice sexing is the most reliable method at this point. Girls say "QUACK!" and boys sound like they have laryngitis. /img/smilies/smile.png

I absolutely love this thread! I have 4 kc's & am learning so much n just the short time we have had them. (We got them at easter) & this is the best site i have come up on. My husband & i have had mny a pet & he has had a lot of experience with farm critters . I have not had the experience he has had but neither of us have had ne experience raisin ducks we r learnin as we go. This is a good bit of info on the sexing of the KCs we r learning bout their differences n color feathering & now the difference in their sounds.
