Hey guys...you can vent sex muscovies right??? I fell prey to a muscovy duckling today. There was a farm that was selling them, and I went to check them out, and I had wanted a really broody duck...long story short, I bought the tiniest little one they had, and she looks like maybe she'll be chocolate pied, if that's the correct term.
Anyway. I only wanted a girl, so I decided to vent sex them. I double and triple checked this one, and she doesn't seem to have boy parts, but the problem was, I checked seven others too and I didn't see any boy parts! I've been vent sexing welsh harlequins, pekins, and even three black swedish ducklings this past year and I've always always seen some boy parts. I've only been wrong twice. Still, eight out of eight seemed to be girls. Now, the mother duck hatched 20 ducklings and they only showed me eight...but what are the odds that all eight they grabbed were girls!?
Still, I took the smallest one as an extra precaution, and she really really doesn't seem to have boy parts after three sexing attempts, so fingers crossed. I'm calling her Chocolat, and she's adorable.
