voice sexing

This duckling is approximately four weeks old (well we got the little thing four weeks ago) and I was really thinking we had a drake on our hands, until this morning.

I would post an audio of the duckling’s voice, but i don’t know how and i don’t feel comfortable posting a video. I’m having trouble telling if it’s more of a quacking noise or a honking sound, but it can be heard pretty clearly. It doesn’t really sound raspy or hoarse, as far as I can tell. I...

Has anyone happened to notice if female ducklings peep more often than males? Or is it about the same until their voices change? Any other tips on sexing Swedish Blue ducklings is appreciated.

I'm looking for opinions on adding to my flock. I have 4 9-week-old ducks, 2 pekin and 2 cayuga. I believe the 2 pekin are both female, based on voice sexing, but the 2 cayugas have been so quiet comparatively, I am starting to think neither of them will be female. I was hoping for 3 female and...
