Hi all I have just got 5 ducks - 1 runner and 4 aylesburys  along with some chickens to replace my flock that was slaghtered by a fox last week.

They are 10 months old but non are showing a curly sex feather to indicate if any are male, I think they sound female but its the first time keeping ducks and I know nothing. The guy I bought them off thought they were a pair of each but no eggs so far.

I will post a few photos later to see if anybody can ID them

PS what size rings will fit a large aylesbury as these are very large for a duck, they are more like a small goose.

what do you think?

They are lovely, but I'm not a duck person, so can't help with the ID.  I'm sure someone will be along with some advice soon

Thanks, they are very cute and the runner is very clumsy and falls over quite a bit LOL

I can't see a curly drake tail feather in any of them. My runner drakes is really obvious. He also rasps rather than quacks the females are really loud, but saying that I would have thought they should be in lay by now
