No curls in drakes feathers at 12 weeks old?

[George678]

Hi my Aylesbury ducks are 12 weeks old now and none of them have curls in their feathers. Im pretty sure that 3 of them are drakes by their raspy voices but not 100% as they look the exact same as the females and have no curls in their feathers. Is this normal for drakes to not have curls? Thanks

They may be slower at maturing. If they are drakes, they will eventually develop drake curls. 12 weeks is still a bit young.

I had 2 ducks, both i thoughy were females until they made the raspy quack sound. Then at around 15 weeks they started the drake curls.
