Me too. I acquired 5 "supposed" young female Pekin ducks. Weeks later I discovered two with telltale "male" tail feather curl; also noticed one of them riding a female on yesterday. I know I got the best deal - an instant flock: my egg is getting fertilized from the one female which lays about every day, and I won't have to buy a drake. Guess it didn't pay for them to try to beat me out of anything; good triumphed and I'm loving it. All the best to you in your endeavors. Quack, quack to you and have a wonderful day.I just recently joined the forum and yes I live in Georgia! It's nice to see other people on here from Georgia. I am not a chicken mom, I am a very new duck mom and I am loving it so far!
Glad you are happy....for future purchases.....a female duck will begin to 'quack' at 4 weeks old. Males continue to make peeping sounds. The curl doesn't happen until they are about 4 months old. And, if you have too many males to one female, she can literally be 'serviced' to death. May be time to get more females or rehome extra males.Me too.

I live in Dawson County. I have no rules! And, yes, we have bears, but with the right coop, no problems! Where in Dawson County did you look? I'm right near Amicalola Falls State Park.Evening everyone, so I went property shopping in Dawson and Lumpkin today. I am noticing an overwhelming number of neighborhoods that do not allow chickens/poultry to be kept. Our favorite property of the day has absolutely no rules, no HOA and no standards for building EXCEPT no trailers and no poultry. What gives? My only thought is they are trying to prevent baiting black bears into the community. Anyone know for sure?
