how to sex call ducklings

[julie lamberty]

anyone know how to sex call ducklings from first week of age ?

There is no way to do so unless you vent sex them at a day old, and I would not recommend that unless you are experienced because you could easily injure them attempting to do it.

You can but it takes an experienced eye to tell the difference in Ducklings. I'm pretty accurate at it...
Wait till about 6 to 8 weeks. Hens Quack loud and Drakes Rasp.

Maybe post some pics now. I'd like to see some guesses.

(I really just love Call duckling pics)

Anything other than vent sexing is a 'best guess' unless they are specific colors bred properly for sex linkage... and even vent sexing is not 100% as the males can 'hold it in' sometimes...

I *do not* recommend vent sexing a Call duckling except by very experienced waterfowl vent sexing people...
