Rich, 'erm I can vent sex ducklings at DO, Thank god I only got so far with chucks and vent sexing, jees mate there's a way to earn a crust looking up a chix bum all day every day
I believe what you are saying to me,but i'm slightly dodgey ( understatement) about that bit CC are saying, Ha ha you are too already
You wont find me SURE very often Rich I constantly self doubt
But that bit about white feathered dux being difficult to sex is absolute cobblers
I'm utterly sure and I have even never heard of braddock white either, so for me to be this sure is saying something . Mind i'd bet they have white cambell or runner in them unless they come from musky which they won't because they want egg numbers from the breed and musky won't give you that type of laying capacity that the cambells and runners have
Thats some form of marketing speil. Rich simply a male duck has a phallus so they are a doddle to sex at DO and when bigger the ducks ( female) quack and drakes do not they have that raspy type call.
I've played a tiny bit with japs Rich ,those are the commercial ones, but I can't remember if males have to be present for laying, Most egg laying in poultry is governed by daylight length, ie egg laying is a phototactic response. For the life of me I simply can't remember the quail, i've reared them mate but only small numbers, I have very little knowledge of quail. I'd be surprised if their egg laying cycle was not governed by daylight length as they are such a similar family to pheasant which is basically what hens are. but there is always some thiing to learn
Not sure there buddy i'm sure on those ducks though what a load of rubbish
!! As you say mate it points to them not looking hard,but it's more cynical than that because of the ease of vent sexing which they are choosing to ignore 'cause joe public doesn't know
