3 Little Ducks

[beth1004]

Can you tell by the pictures if my ducks are male or female?

 

[DuckyDonna]

I can't but have you listened to their quacks? Loud quack = girl soft raspy quack = boy. You should be able to tell by now

 

[beth1004]

This is them when we brought them home. I don’t know if that is big or small. I think I have 1 male and 1 female Pekin. We had to pick them up tonight to put them away and one had something to say about it and the other was quiet.

@beth1004 how old are they? Very pretty ducks!

 

[crazy4ChickensNducks]

You will have to go by voice of the duck or wait till all the feathering comes in and there will be a curly tail feather if male

 

[chickens really]

The Rouen possibly is a Drake because it's bill is green.

 

[Table4Six]

The Rouen is very likely a drake, as for the Pekins, you really need to listen to their voices. As stated previously, females make the loud, stereotypical quack, whereas drakes will make low rasps.

 

[MagpieDucks]

Agreed.

The Mallard (Rouen?) is a Drake.

Pick up the Pekins one by one and listen to their voices.

 

[beth1004]

The chicken is definitely a girl!

The chicken is actually a cockerel. At least he’s trying to mate with the ducks. He’s too big for my babies and not big enough for the adults. He’s grown up with the ducks.

Could have been 2-3 days to a couple weeks were they tiny? Month an a half possibly really too young to say for sure. @MagpieDucks or @Table4Six are my go too for sexing.
