Good news! I finally have female canteloupe and squash flowers!
The Canteloupe flowers have already bloomed, so I hand pollinated them with 2 male flowers each. I then left the male parts in the middle of the flowers where the pollen is placed so that the pollen is less likely to be washed away...
If they have all their adult plumage then they should have their drake curl if they are male.
The drake curl grows in at 8-12 weeks of age, when their adult plumage is fully grown in.
