we have 3 blue swiss ducklings almost 6 weeks old. one started quacking nearly 3 weeks ago. one a week later...the last still chirps and peeps. is there a difference in quacking between the girls and boys? the peeper is supposed to be the boy, but we're not sure because one of the 'females' is so much bigger in comparision. any help would be appreciated.
 
Only the females should quack. In my personal experience the female ducks have always developed their voices first but that could vary by breed as well. It sounds like you could possibly have 1 Drake and 2 Ducks while would be the ideal ratio in this scenario.

I wouldn't worry too much about one female duck being much larger because certain birds can be early bloomers.
 
Thank you very much for the info! Guess you can tell I am still learning. If the drake doesn't quack, will he just be chirping and peeping always? lol my husband says makes him seem girly. Thanks again
