i tried vent sexing our hatchlings and couldn't see a thing, they all looked the same!
@Miss Lydia Thanks for all the info about how your feed your ducks! I will give it a try and see how it goes. My ducklings all love peas, so i think if i sprinkle some peas on top, they'll probably try it.
My husband picked up a truckload of hemlock shavings, and i tried it with our ducklings but they all started eating it. I covered the shavings with paper towels and they ate that, and kept after the hemlock shavings! They've been using a spruce/pine/fir mix which looks exactly the same but they weren't eating that!! I ended up getting rid of all the new shavings, and i've got to go back to the feed store and pick up another bag of the mix that they weren't eating. Do you think if i gradually added the new kind to what they were used to before that they might just leave it alone?
