Would appreciate your help!
New duck here, hatched the end of June. The lady I bought it from was pretty sure it was a hen. That’s what I was after, but I am no expert, so I went by her judgment. I will attach some photos and links on YouTube of videos I took.
New duck is around the same size as my 3 year old hen. Maybe shaped just a little differently, seems a little taller. The feet aren’t “huge”. It doesn’t make sounds yet that I’ve heard, so I can’t go by that. When does their adult voice come in?
There’s been suspicion it might be a drake from another person. I need verification as soon as possible. I do not wish to keep a drake. This one is replacing my other hen we had to have pts last week. It’s meant as a companion to my remaining hen.
The new duck is the grey one with the paler caruncle.
