Duck sex question

We have 4 ducks at the moment, we are getting 3 eggs a day and I think I want to get rid of (eat) the male duck to save on feeding. My wife read that ducks can change sexes and if this true I don't want to eliminate a male just to get another added. I think it sounds crazy but she isn't one to believe anything.

Google says yes (apparently) from several different sources. Females can become males. I’m sure it’s not an overnight thing but regardless, I had no idea...

If that's true, it lends a whole to meaning to the phrase, "fuck a duck."

David - hope you are well. Been a while since we have chatted.

As for your ducks - I didn't know that. Are they penned ducks?

I don’t know. I opened the thread just to see what a “duck sex” question looked like.

I knew that frogs can do that. Never heard that ducks can, too.

A little more Google lead to an article explaining that this transition would be due to the loss of an ovarie from injury, disease, etc which would halt the production of female hormones which results in the expression of male characteristics. This is not, like amphibians, a reproductive strategy triggered by the lack of a male in the flock.

I was expecting this thread to be about bestiality. With feathers and webbed feet. And Groucho Marx.

Now I know where that term "He's a queer Duck" came from.

No. Just no. Birds don’t change sex. Amphibians can, not birds.

Do you really believe what you read on Google?

If so, please stop it.

Eat the duck.
