These little ducklings are the cutest little things ever! I want to pinch their little faces off. I bet your entire family is in love. Very cool @jlsplatts

Oh ya!! Our dog Sadie isn’t quite sure about these weird little critters yet. She sits and whines, because she want to get a good smell.. or bite. I’m not sure yet. Lol

I bet. They’ll be friends in no time. Animals are usually cool like that.

does the duck color signify males and females?

No it doesn’t. I kind of wish it did but we will just wait and see 😉

Or 7.

😂😂

And so it begins. Since I know nothing about how this works, I was surprised when you said the ducks had not been sexed. I guess that means it's not so easy to tell when they're young? At what point then, can you know, and if you're trying to get a certain sex, is the only possible way to do it is to guess and wait? Or is there something else involved in the process that I'm totally missing. Feeling like a duck out of water here. :)

I would imagine you could buy a more mature duck, or do they not sell those? Or was there a 'kids' appeal' factor involved? :)

You can order them “sexed” and some places actually have them that way but this store doesn’t.


I guess I could go into the store and do what this guy does. Lol

Definitely a kids appeal 😉 and parent also. These little guys are so funny and cute to watch

Okay. So I guessed there might be a way to sex a duckling by its down color (since there are ducks that have definite male and female coloring), and I also assumed that you could locate (apparently with some work) the actual genitalia. Not sure if that's what you do with your kids hanging around. I know some parents who would (farmers and an obgyn, go figure :)

At any rate, that cleared up that question.

They do look like they're going to be lots of fun. Hopefully they are the females you want and they stay fun throughout.
