How accurate is voice sexing?

Date sort Score sort
My first set of ducklings this year were spot on when it came to sexing by voices.
The second set of pekins... I kept one who quacked real loud and sounded like a girl and turned out to be a boy.
So i am not super experienced.... But for what its worth, i wouldnt rely completly on voice.

Lol ok thanks. I've not owned swedish before so I can't say the difference between males and females feathers but the girl look suspicious. Mine are still young so I could be wrong but I wasn't sure lol. :)

What are the breeds? Don't know about Swedish but so far my voice sexing seems to be accurate. I have two hens quacking- loudly- and one that is quiet. He has a green sheen to his head and is definitely a male- beautiful breeding drake. :)
 
I have a blue swedish, a black swedish and a mallard. The mallard is most definitely a boy and so is the blue swedish. They already are getting the drake curl. My black swedish has no drake feather and quacks but she is getting some beetle sheen on her head and wings. I've tried googling but can't find anything on it lol..

Well I have four rouens and two rouen crosses. My drake has a green shine, but his head won't turn green for a bit yet.

I have one possible hen that has a slightly green shine, and I've heard it quack perhaps once, but I think it may be a male as it is quiet. I need to separate them again and try to voice sex the uncertainties.

My black swedish was a boy... However i was told girls also have the green sheen. Boys get a dark green head tho
