The second batch of ducklings have had their first bath and now their first swim in a tortilla warmer. I am selling the four darker ones and keeping the lighter one pictured seperate in the first picture.
Here they are all together enjoying their swim.
If it lays an egg it's a girl!!!I have a question for the call duck experts. Can you help me to determine what colors my babies will be, I purchased them from a lady who saved me various colors to hatch but didnt seperate out which was which so I'm a bit at a loss. Also is there a way to sex a call duck baby besides the obvious vent sexing, I havent done that before and worry about hurting them if I do it. Thank you in advance for all your help. Michelle
Sorry I couldn't resist!! Vent sexing is the way. Not easy to do especially with the tiny call babies. Or wait a couple weeks and listen for a difference in their voices. A more distinctive "QUACK" in between peeping is a girl. A gurgling awkward peeping is a boy. I was able to start telling the difference within about 3 weeks. Usually during a bath or when getting peas and excited is when the girls would slip out a quack. Yellow usually goes white or buff. Black=black, Brown=brown, gray=blue or silver Not much of a science to it with ducks. I specifically bred only blacks because it would creep out Blueduckling!! 
But I have been known to have blue and browns. I just really love blacks because of the pearly iridescence in their feathers! 
Congrats on the boy . . . aren't babies fun!Thought I'd let everyone know after two days of labor my son and his wife have a wonderful baby boy. Nolan is six pounds two oz and is 19inch long. She had a c section in the end. Everyone is happy and healthy.
