I have 4 call ducklings, some are bigger than each other, they are between 2 weeks and 10 days old. Is there anyway that I can sex them? Males smaller chicks, or have small beaks?

Anybody who can share their secrets, observations or experience, I am all ears! Or should I saw all eyes!!
 
Size or behavior isn't going to be a reliable method for this particular breed.

Your best bet would be to wait a bit longer first. Then you can go the vent sexing route or wait until they can be voice sexed.

I heard you can only vent sex on day olds? :rolleyes:

In proportion to each ducklings size to one another, does anybody have ideas as to who is male and who is female? FYI, the biggest duckling on the right (in first picture) is 4 days older than the rest, who are 12 days old.

Thanks!

X2 it's too early still to even start to make guesses and you will be able to voice sex them fist. You got a few more weeks.
