I am new to raising ducks this year, and everyone kept telling me to listen to how they quack...which may be easy for experienced people!! LOL!! Sounds like a bunch of quacking to me! Soooo...I had to resort to waiting it out, watching for the tail feathers to curl seems to take forever, but at least then you'll know for sure. And yup...wouldn't you know...both my Pekins are males!!
I know with my luck that is what will happen, which is why I am super excited that they might be girls! Everyday is a new noise out of them and I'm all confused.
They are making that noise because they are distressed - it is neither a quack nor a rasp; you will need to record them during normal activity without them being restrained and upset.
They are probably female at a guess though
I thought that when they were distressed their true colors came through. Or a least that was the impression I got after reading a few threads on voice sexing. They talk frequently but I don't know what is average and what isn't since these are the first ducks I've ever owned. They have been making squawking noises the last week and started the loud honking yesterday when my kids were petting them.
Got yourself a girl there.
