Straight run ducklings from TSC have higher than natural male to female ratios of duck. This is because some (?all) of the male sexed ducklings end up back in with the unsexed ducklings. If you do not want any drakes, you need to pay more and get sexed ducklings from a hatchery. My son was lucky and got two females and one male in his 'day old ducklings' from Tractor Supplies. But other people we know ended up with all drakes or too many drakes.Thanks! I really want duck eggs so maybe I'll try again.
