Today I got 2 1 week old ducklings! Well once every one was settled (I got 4 chicks with them) I decided to let them swim for the first time in their young lives, they loved it too. Of course they couldn't really swim, as I didn't want to fill it too much because I was afraid they would drown (even though I was right there with them watching like a protective mother).
Anyways I was drying them off one at a time and set one down (the smaller of the 2) and while I was drying the other duckling the one of the floor quacked! it surprised me, as I thought it would be awhile until they could quack... I know females quack and males make a rasp noise, so if this was the real deal I have at least one girl
Are females typically smaller than males as ducklings?
(Sorry the following Pics are so big, I don't know how to resize them...)
