Depending on your order, your ducklings may or may not have leg bands. If your order is strictly females, they will not be banded unless the order contains breeds that are difficult to tell apart. If your order has males and females, the males will be banded. If your birds are banded, please remove the bands within three days. Females will have their band on their left leg, males on their right.
Special note for Mallards, sometimes the bands can fall off their little legs. Since US federal law requires that domestically bred Mallards have a rear toe clipped to permanently identify as such, we clip the opposite toe than the gender banding--males the left toe, and females the right.
