SnowWhite Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 My OH has a friend who is incubating some duck eggs. He has a garden that lead on to a river and is taken by the idea of raising his own ducks. Last night OH tells me that his friend has been given a method of sexing the ducklings once hatched. It sounds a little far fetched to me so I thought I'd put it to the experts! Apparently, if you pick up a duckling by it's legs and hang it upside down, a female will make a fuss while a male will not? I'm interested as I am also planning to keep ducks for eggs in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have heard similar over on the Practical Poultry forum - but not sure how true it is I just wait to see which ones develop curly tail feathers There will be a wealth of information on the Practical Poultry forum for duck-keepers, it's worth having a look.
