Breeding For Sex-Linked Ducklings

An excellent reference article that is detail, but not too difficult for me (as a complete beginner to duck genetics) to understand.
I did not see a percentage of accuracy. With chickens this type of gender determination would be about 75% accurate

Hey! I'm just seeing this review. This method of sex linking is 100% accurate. I also thought that this type of breeding in chickens, as in creating a black sex link or red sex link, is also 100% accurate - if it isn't I'd like to learn about why not!
Great article. I do not currently breed my ducks and I don't have the genes needed in my small flock to breed sex-linked. However, this was a very interesting read. I may one day decide to pursue sex-linked ducks if I have a larger property so I can have more ducks (and other animals) like I hope. :)

Very good article about duck genetics! I didn't know that the duck's set of genes determines the gender of the offspring, big difference to mamals.
Thanks, now I understand so much more about sexlinks!
I don't understand genetics very well, but this made it simple to understand! Thank you!
Thank you for this reference!
This is a fascinating article. It puts complicated genetics into easy (well, easiER!) to understand language. Thanks so much for the education!
Great information and easy to understand.
Very interesting and well written
