I have 9 siblings! The mom is a Buff Orpington and the dad is a Pekin. This is what they look like. I have no clue which are female and which are male. Any help appreciated. I got them at 6 weeks. They are 8 weeks now. They are loud when they are quacking but they're are so many i can't tell who sounds like what!! Some sound like a squeek others sound like a quack. Some sound like deep quacks. Any expertise welcome! I love them all they are so fun!! They play in the water, the sprinkler, try to fly around. I think they just do it to run faster . I enjoy them so much just wish I knew how mamy of each set I have. I don't know whether to go with the beak color or what???

The ones with the low quack are females. The squeakers/raspy ones are males.

I have 3 ducks
2 females and 1 drake
I know the mother was a pekin and the dad was a sliver Apple yard mix
Any idea what the 3rd breed is

Here are some of my mixed breed ducks. The black and white is the Cayuga momma. The grey ones are Cayuga/Buffs, the darker tan I believe are Buff/Khakis which all turned out to be drakes. I’m not sure about the dark brown and the grayish tan ones. Any thoughts? Please help me identify my girls!

In the back is Chocolate, Daisy (momma), Speckles, and Universe. I think they’re all a Cayuga mix with either Buff or Welsh Harlequin, but I did sneak some KC eggs under Daisy, so they could be WH/KC or Buff/KC as well. My theory is that chocolate is a Cayuga/WH because she has very dark brown feathers with shiny speculum, and Speckles and Universe (Cookies and Cream) are Cayuga/Buff that have tan/grey feathers with brown spots on them. Does anyone know? Any theories out there? You can see their Buff friends in the pictures as well

That black and white is spectacular.

That black and white is spectacular.

Isn’t she? She’s a Cayuga that is gradually turning more and more white.

She looks like my black Indian Runner!!

I have 3 mixed too. I think the male is at least 50% Appleyard? One female looks Rouen but the other female is a mystery to me Any ideas?
