how to sex young white Mandrians

[chickenzoo]

Thanks Kangababy ......I've vent sexed my call ducks but never tried the Mandrians.....are they harder to vent sex? I got six white Mandrians from one place and five reg Mandrians from another. Since each batch is related I was wanting to pair up reg to white since that is the only option as of now.?..well I do have another unrelated hen I forgot about...hehe. My main reason for getting the reg ones....

No different to vent sex than call ducks, also the following link will help explain how the color genetics in Woodducks and Mandarins work

Silver they are not related to mallards at all, and cannot be gender ID'd like mallard breeds can. Just like Muscovy also dont quack or get drake curls.
