We got drakes because we heard they were quietier. Two Cayugas and two Rouen and we didn’t want to mess with the eggs from the hens but after about a year the drakes started a pecking order resulting in the less submissive one getting picked on. Getting all hens was probably the way to go. I...
I think so too! My husband keeps saying HER tail is curled but I don’t think so. The problem would be if she wasn’t a girl I would have 3 boys to one girl. I have a male Rouen and Cayuga already.
I recently inherited 2 ducks hoping they were both female. I know the white crested one is but I can’t figure out the buff colored one. He/she is very small and they are siblings around 3 months of age.
