How do I tell the sex????

[fancyfritz]

I just got my first ducklings... How can I tell if they are male or female???

You kinda have to wait until they quack. It'll be about a month. Females will have the "aflac" quack and males will peep until it sounds like they a seriously raspy and bullfrogish

Oh, and it depends on what kind of duck it is

they are pekin

When they quack, you'll see the difference. Unless they're all boys or all girls

 

[ducks rule]

look at the beaks

Vent sexing, DNA sexing, or waiting for the girls to QUACK and the boys to whasp

One of you said check the beaks (bill). That was my question. It seems all of my calls that are males have an olive green coloured bill. Seems to be true every time. I don't even like to sell them until i know if they are male or female. Has anyone else found the green bill to be another way to sex calls even before they quack or get the drake tail.????
