1. How to distinguish between egg-laying ducklings and mallard ducklings?

The distinction method is as follows

First, the difference between varieties: Muscovy ducks are mainly meat-producing ducks, while egg-laying ducks are mainly egg-laying ducks. Beijing White Duck and Cherry Valley Meat Duck are meat ducks, while Shaoxing Muscovy ducks are egg-laying ducks. Gaoyou Muscovy ducks are both egg- and meat-producing ducks.

Second, ducks have different body shapes. Meat ducks are large and compact, while egg-laying ducks are small and slender.

3. Meat ducks are fat and have more subcutaneous fat, while laying ducks are slightly thin and have less fat.

Fourth, the breeding cycle of meat ducks is short, and they are marketed in 40-100 days, while laying ducks are eliminated at least once a year.

2. How many days does it take for laying ducklings to lay eggs?

Laying ducks start laying eggs at around 120 days old. The first year is a peak period for egg laying, and the egg laying rate gradually decreases in the next two years. The egg laying rate generally decreases by 5% to 10% in the second laying year, and decreases more in the third laying year. The egg laying rate in the first year is basically around 180 to 200 eggs.

The peak egg-laying period of laying ducks generally lasts for 4-5 months. Generally, laying ducks are in good health and are fed scientifically. The egg-laying rate can reach 90% or more at 28 weeks of age, which is the peak egg-laying period. The duration of the peak egg-laying period is affected by the breed, feed, duck house environment, temperature, management and other conditions.

3. Where is the best egg-laying duckling in Fujian?

Fujian water duck seedlings are currently the best egg-laying duck seedlings. Among them, the water duck seedlings provided by the China Government Poultry Seedling Factory are the most authentic. They have a small food intake and a large yield.

4. How much does an egg-laying duck weigh at 15 days old?

Answer: Egg ducklings refer to the egg ducklings born from the union of a high-quality female duck and a male duck. A 15-day-old egg duckling weighs only 100 grams when it has just learned to eat.

5. Where can I find ducklings in Guilin?

There are few egg-laying ducklings in Guilin. Generally, the ducklings in Guilin are imported from Nanning, Nanning Zi Nong Mall, and Anji Poultry Wholesale Market. The poultry seedlings from these places are sent to all parts of the country and exported to Vietnam.

6. Which season is best for raising laying ducklings?

Ducklings are small and prone to illness, so they must be carefully raised at a suitable temperature. Generally, the temperature in spring is suitable for raising ducklings.

7. How to distinguish male and female laying ducklings?

1. Male ducks do not lay eggs, but female ducks do.

2. The feathers on the body of an adult drake are shiny and beautiful.

3. The male duck has a tuft of feathers sticking up at the tail, while the female duck has neat feathers at the tail.

4. There is a small hook-shaped protrusion in the cloaca of male ducks, but not in female ducks.
