#2019053 1baikim View Profile	Duck question Hi, a friend of mine rescued a duckling from the alley behind her apartment complex, but they weren’t allowed to keep it. I have had ducks and geese in the past so now I have it. My problem is I don’t remember how to tell the sex and can’t tell the breed yet since it’s maybe a week to ten days old. How do I tell?

If their is a pimple looking bump it is male, I’m sure their are many other ways that don’t involve you touching down their lol. Um also you will be able to tell when the duck starts to mature more, if its tail starts to curl up it is a male. femals tails will stay flat and small. good luck with everything!!!!
