The ducklings are just turning 4 months old, and I've already seen some mating behaviors on the pond.

I'm not completely sure of the sexes of all of my ducks, even after listening to their voices. I was hoping to use their plumage to help me determine my male-female ration before breeding season began, but it seems they're getting the jump on me.

So...when should I be seeing those curly feathers? And when do ducks begin their season? I didn't think it was this early, and Holderread's book didn't address this much.

Thanks!
