This is my 1st year with ducks. I have a faun Indian runner, and a rouen that I’m 99.9% sure they’re female. But my 2 black Swedish have me stumped. 1 of them has an obvious green sheen at the tip of their wing by the white bit. And a green sheen to their head but you have to kind of look for it. The other my husband says they have it too, but I honestly haven’t been able to tell. I also haven’t seen the male curly tail feathers yet.

Can y’all tell what they are? Or help me better understand how to figure it out?

Did you figure out your black swedish? If they don't have the tail curl by now, they are probably females. My two black swedish females are extremely loud - that's the easy way to tell. Males will have very quiet voices. My females are beautiful blue and green in the light. I really love this breed!
