So, at 3 weeks looked as if we had 3 drakes and 1 duck hen due to size. They’re 7 weeks now and thinking of rehoming drakes. But now 1 is the biggest and the other 3 seem about the same size. Was I wrong? I’m going back and studying my pictures, noticing their feather growth this time around. Also the length of their fuselage, (like an airplane cab to tail wing), is pretty apparent with duckling feathers contrasting with their newly grown duck feathers. I’ve plans to drop these off at a new home tomorrow but if there’s 3 duck hens; that’s what I’m looking for in manner of duck forever pets.
My thoughts: (keep in mind I'm new to duck ownership)
1 Spats has the most yellow developing on her tail. (at 3 weeks)
2 Jank, 2nd from right, quills are least developed. White starts to appear on 2's heads.
3 Leroy, at bottom, feathers mostly cover his quills. He's becoming Luronda.
4 2's heads have speckled white, Jank's late quills and long fuselage apparent.
5 The quills of big boy Jank still show.
6 Luronda, on shore, legs about diameter of my finger. Janks' legs in water d=thumb.
What do you think? I'd love 3 personable hen ducks, yet I have the chance to rehome 'em this week.
