Hey Bigo,
I sent 1 message but don't know if it got sent out or not.
I'm wondering if you found out how to determine the sex of the ducklings?
I've got 30 that are about 3 weeks old and would like to sex them soon,if you know how please let me know. Thank you joeyjoy. joeyjoy@nb.net

Pick each one up individually and listen to its voice. If it's whisperish, it's a male. If it's a loud, quacking protest, it's a female. Good luck!

Hi, I have 2 Rouen ducks which are currently in a pen through the winter months. Recently I have collected 3 eggs within one day. I'm not sure if I have 2 females or one male and one female. Both have a very loud "quack" no curled tails. Is there any way for the gender to be determined. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tracey
