CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to distinguish between egg-laying ducklings and mallard ducklings?

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. Which breed of laying ducklings is the best?

Jinding Duck

Jinding duck is an excellent egg-laying duck breed in my country. It has the characteristics of high egg production, large egg size, green eggshell, strong foraging ability, high feed conversion ability, and heat and cold resistance. It is native to Jinding Township, Longwan County, Fujian Province and the lower reaches of Jiulong River, including the suburbs of Xiamen.

After years of breeding, the Jinding duck has basically the same body shape, feather color and eggshell color, and stable genetic performance. The adult weight of male ducks is 1.5-2.0 kg, and that of female ducks is 1.5-1.7 kg. Female ducks start laying eggs at 110-120 days old, and the cumulative egg production at 500 days old is 260-280 eggs, with an egg weight of 70-72 grams, and the eggshell is mainly cyan.

4. 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.

5. How much does an egg-laying duckling 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. How to distinguish male and female egg-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. The most scientific way is to slightly turn over the anus to look at the genitals (unskilled people may hurt the ducklings). It is very simple to distinguish between male and female semi-adult ducks. The male duck has green hair (very bright) on its head and a hoarse and soft call.

10. What do gecko eggs look like?

1. Geckos lay eggs that are shaped like soybeans and the size of soybeans. Geckos are oviparous animals and usually lay eggs once a year. The egg-laying period in the wild is generally from late May to early August. An average of 1.8 nests are laid in one breeding season, with two eggs in each nest. Gecko eggs are white and have hard shells. They are often laid under the bark or attached to the back of leaves.

2. It is an animal that hides during the day and comes out at night. During the day, it lurks in hidden places such as wall cracks, under eaves, behind cabinets, etc., and comes out at night. In the evenings of summer and autumn, geckos often appear on walls, under eaves or on electric poles where lights are shining, preying on mosquitoes, flies, moths and spiders, etc. It is a beneficial and harmless animal. When a gecko is frightened or when you try to catch it, as long as you touch it, its tail will break immediately, and the gecko will take the opportunity to escape. This phenomenon is called autotomy in zoology, also known as self-mutilation and self-cutting. Because there are many nerves in the broken tail, the nerves do not lose their function immediately after it leaves the body, so it will still swing, which has a frightening effect and sometimes can achieve the purpose of self-defense.
