You can still try it for a one week old - just be gentle.

I just figured out how to vent sex ducklings, and I have been trying for a year now! You will know the difference once you see it! The males will have a pee-pee. Females won't, once you see the pee-pee, you will be a champ at it!

The way I do it, is hold the duckling upside down, tail in the air, pulled back slightly. Legs curled up, then kinda try to expose the vent a bit. the trick is doing it slow, and gentle. Don't want to harm the duckling!

Good luck!

seen that but i think my duckies might be too old and i'm scared i hurt them lol I tried three of them and they all looked the same like females so i figured one they were too old or two i was doing it wrong

I totally missed the window to vent sex mine. They are 3 weeks old now- and I am waiting for quacks/whacks and drake tails to clue me in. I'm trying to be patient. Mine are too big and wiggly for me to even attempt it- good luck!

hope they give me some kind of sign lol I'll probably have to wait till they start breeding . hope by that age it will not be hard to get read of ones i don't want .. i don't need 32 ducks lol
