Any ideas?

Super cute! They should be quacking by now if they're females. Mine are (for the most part- *sometimes* they still throw a peep or so in there) and they look to be the same age based on feathering. Females will be loud with a distinct quack and males will have a raspy squeak of sorts. If...

Thanks everyone!! They're in a 10x10 dog kennel (like this: http://cdnmedia.endeavorsuite.com/images/organizations/43af649a-f02f-4dec-967e-c08ac5c544d3/10X10%20DOG%20KENNEL.jpg) that I have covered with a sort of sun shade tarp. They share the space with 7 chicks that are a few weeks older...

It seems like just yesterday when they looked like this! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/751046/my-runner-ducklings-arrived-today-lots-of-pics And yet they look like this today!! *faint*

Thanks everyone!! I'm so in love with these little guys

Thanks for sharing my excitement!!

Oh okay thanks! BuMp for the color?

Is it normal for him to not eat by 6:50am???

Great, thanks! He made it through the night! He's still not interested in eating quite yet though.. it's almost 6 am.

Thanks ^ He (he can't just be an 'it') has lost interest in food but it's 8:20 pm so do you think it's normal for them to stop eating at night?
