Don't know about me, I think its my ducks that should be sitting on the step of naughtiness!

One obvious question I forgot to ask...Can I telly by general appearance if a duck is a he or a she? or do I have to go rummaging around in feathers and if so is it obvious?

[chooknewbie]

do they quack the same?? lol..sounds silly i know but really...males and females do quack differently. also, the males have a tail feather that curls slightly... i will let one of the other more experienced duckies tell you more tho...*S*

The drake has a feather curl at the end of the tail. No need to go rummaging unless you really want to . :roll:

:!: "I was trying to find my drake officer honest.  "
" I don't give a duck there will be rummaging around these parts. Its fowl"

Sorry the heat in my windowless office is getting to me. 28.6c

Thank you for all your information... just spoken to someone else who keeps quite a lot of ducks...all girls...and he assures me they are "always at it"  So that's all right then.!

I'll find something else to worry about....for example will the Yorkshire puddings be as nice with duck eggs?

[Jellyhead]

They be yummier and bigger and fluffier. Duck eggies are the best :roll: in my opinion

Think 2 eggs is a pretty good indication that they are probably both girls although voice and no curly tail feathers are also signs.
Agree that duck eggs are definately the best!
