They are too young to sex yet, but apparantly drakes will develop darker head feathers and a different quack....

Campbells are good egg layers by all accounts, they are a hybrid bird.

(See, I've been swatting up already!!)

The dog bowl was the only thing I could find that would hold a goodly amount of water!!
The breed are splashers not swimmers, and I've put out a Freecycle message for a childs sandpit. I've also managed to find a medium plastic bedding box that I can use when they are a bit bigger....

They've not got names yet, I've not had enough time to think of them!!

I feel like I'm on a HUGE learning curve, and have been scouring t'interweb for information on keeping ducks!
