Picked these up March 17th as ducklings. One has been quaking for a couple of weeks now, the other more or less peeps still.

I am assuming I have a male and female.

One has some color on its chest and is the one that still peeps. Not the same peep as a baby, but closer to a peep. I know believe male.

The other has no coloring on the chest and quacks when picked up or followed in the yard. I believe female.

However, their head/neck coloring has me thrown. When I look up young drakes, these two look closer to both being drakes. However, there is. I indication of a white ring on their necks. The back of their necks are dark from head to body.

Well, the one in the front is female, the one in back is male. In the image posted above.

This is a more recent photo. One quacks and the other wucks.

They make a mess of their water in 10 minutes. Drake front, duck back.
