When does the drake feather come in?

[Brassmaster]

We have to 2 twelve week old Khaki Campbell drakes. One has had his drake feather for 3 weeks. The other still doesn't. When do they normally get their drake feather?

i've never had khakis so ic ant say for sure but I knwo that all ducks are all originated from mallards except the muskcovie so maybe this will help. My drake got his curl at around 12 weeks old so if your other is indeed a drake i bet its very soon!

Haha, my Cayuga drake is almost 28 weeks old and he just recently got his drake feather!!!

Yeah...around 12 weeks. Is the other one a girl?

We have started to wonder that too but he is marked just like the other drake (they are just starting to look a bit different from the ducks) and he doesn't have a quake either.
