Drakes or Hens (Khaki)

I can't guess without pics, but if they have curly tail feathers, they are drakes, and if not, they are hens.
 
Oh and hens are really loud!

They will start making quack noises at 5-8 weeks so not long now!
 
It is a little early to tell but like everyone else said the "quack" is the dead give away. I have found with my Khaki's that the feathers above the tail are darker with less pencilling in my boys. This picture is of two of mine, when they were a few weeks older than yours. The boy is on the right, girl on the left.

I used to be a chicken man, but I love ducks and always wanted to raise them. I am a beginner at these ducks so I will be on this forum a lot asking for advice. I love the quacking sounds that they make. Sweet music to my ears.

Nice to have you!
Do you mean to say they are quacking now? Or the duckling peeping still?
