    Is it possible to make a auto-sexing duck breed

    I currently have some welsh harlequins which are already autosexing. I would love to get some cayuga females to breed with them. Would it be possible in theory after multiple generations to make a auto sexing breed between welsh harlequins and cayugas.

    Show me your duck ponds

    I currently just use those cheap plastic tubs for my ducks. I would like to see some ideas of natural looking ponds that people have made and how you filter the water. Last summer I attempted a duck pond but failed, so I'll have to try again.
