    i have a trio of BEI and I suspect one of the girls may be a drake they were vent sexed at 2 days ...i can get it to quack just rasp, its the smallest of the three though which i find odd, and at 6-7 weeks hasnt got a drake feather through yet. any thoughts? is the quack a fool proof sexing method?
