A picture from above of their backs may help.
Drakes seem to be alot darker on their back above their tail.
So maybe we could tell. But you should be hearing difference in voice by now too

Here they are. Will be 6 weeks monday. (The khakis will) runners are a week younger
We bought some feeder fish for them to catch today. They loved it!

Can't tell from your pictures but in addition to the voice the drakes get a curly feather at the top of their tail and their feet are orange as opposed to the girls' darker feet. Can't recall at what age this happens.

I'm with Ducks4us we really need a photo of their backs -the area above the tail. If I had to guess I would guess two drakes based on how orange the legs are on the front one and the round jaw line of the second -but I am just guessing! If either is a girl they should start going through a voice change any day now. To me it sounded like a change from chick peeping to a bad squeaky toy sound.

I think we might have a drake

which stinks cause I think we paid extra for sexed ducklings. One is darker, has a curled tail feather, and is starting to make a weird noise (which I think might be a drake noise)

How old are they? I cant remember... i was thinking yours are younger than mine?
They dont get a curly tail feather till they are older. I think like 4-5 months old if i remember right.
If its making a different noise its prob a girl.
Boys dont start making different voices for a while. They just get quieter sounding at first. And its like a froggy/raspy sound. Much quieter than the girls.
Do you have pictures.
My boy does have darker back feathers above tail.
But this wasnt noticable till around 5 weeks i think.
