Sex My Ducks dot com

I wish we could figure out what sex the ducks are going to be – we dare not ‘vent’ the ducks for fear of damaging their reproductive organs so we are waiting for the curly feather on the ducks tail. If it’s a curl they will be boy ducks and if they don’t have the curly feather then they will be girl ducks. We read on thar tinterwebs that you can also tell by their quack if they are male or female. The Male ducks have a more raspy sound and the females have a more definitive ‘Quack’.

…anyway, I’ll tell you why it’s so important; Male ducks are useless, they aren’t going to supply me with fresh eggs every morning  and we only need one male to fertilise the eggs if we breed them. If it turns out if 5 out of the 6 ducks are males Christmas dinner will be fuelled by roast duck. Anyone fancy helping break their necks come the time? I get the feeling Eric may well come into his own on this occasion.
