Not sure if this has been addressed or not.....

When should I see a drakes curly tail feather?

I have 8 week old runner ducks. I am pretty sure 2 are female, based on the quacking going on.

Usually around 4 months give or take

The day my magpie x runner brats got their curly feathers was one of the happiest days of my life. I know, weird, but my little men were growing up and i felt like they had just graduated from college or something

And I agree, at about 4 months.
