will 2 Drakes get along?

[needlessjunk]

Does this give any clues of sex? I did a video but not a peep from either of them. will try again after work, when they are good and mad at me for draining the pool. I really appreciate all the input as I'd rather part with them then to cause any harm or distress to either.

2 drakes will do just fine as long as you don't have any females or chickens. It is still early to say 100% if they are male or females. Generally speaking females will be making quacking noises by 6-7 weeks but boys don't get raspy till more around 10 weeks. Sometimes there are late bloomers though. http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/artquacks.htm

I would guess the one in the front is a drake (greener bill and oranger legs plus a very distinct head.) Don't know about the one in the back... It is still early so I am not sure on either, but I have both a Rouen drake and two Rouen ducks. I had the drake from a duckling, but not the ducks (they were fully feathered in their adult feathers when we got them.) If you plan on stopping at two and end up with one of each a trade is a good idea. If you are willing to go two drakes, there are more people that want to get rid of drakes than ducks so I am sure you can find someone who would trade a drake for a duck. (If someone ends up with two extra ducks in their flock they might keep them - if they end up with two extra drakes in a flock, they probably need to build a new structure and maybe get a larger property.

I've just spent the last hour getting some video of voices....I think. but Now I'm too dumb to figure out how to get it here.

I think they look like two boys right now. Two boys may do a little head-butting and shoving, but should be OK as long as they don't get too rough.

Are you able to upload them to YouTube and then just give us the link? I honestly don't know how to upload videos directly to the board myself.

I think I have one of them here. me and 2 ducks in a shower are close quarters. I'm sure hoping for 2 of the same sex.

Still too early to tell. Cute though.

They're still peeping and making duckling noises, but I thought I heard a little raspiness in one of them.

I have a question. My one year old rouen drake has been attacking one of the two month old khaki campbells. The two older females don't want anything to do with the younger ones either. the drake is trying to kill one of the younger ones. What can I do? They've been introduced since we brought the younger ones home. But now that we are letting the little ducks and chickens free range during the day if I'm not paying attention Donnie the rouen attacks the brown khaki.
