I’ve Got A Drake (bad word insert here)!
So I guess I’ll just say darn it! I have been hoping through this whole adventure for 7 hens. I know, I know, how can I get 7 hens from a random batch of ducks?? The thing about duck gender is you really can’t tell until they are fully feathered OR you get eggs. Unless you want to vent sex them, that’s a whole nuther experience, which I decided not to traumatize them with in this delicate stage of life.
That DARN dark head appeared overnight. Really, they all looked identical until yesterday! Dark head, light body, that’ a drake alright. All I can hope for now is at least a couple of hens. WE WANT EGGS!!!
