9 week old Rouens - 1 each male and female? oh please oh please?

See... this is exactly why I said don't quote me.

But I'm curious... what are all of you seeing that I am totally missing?? I only looked at bill color - my Rouen drake's bill is black right at the tip, and then the rest of it is a greenish-yellow. Definitely more yellow than green. And I know it was this way already before he molted into his male plumage. The two hens that I've had both had a lot of dark brown on their bill. Both of Tiffrz-N-Kidz ducks look pretty brown to me. Maybe it's just my ancient laptop monitor that's skewing the colors. Yeah, yeah... that's it.
 
The rouens and mallards drakes can have a range of dark green bills to yellowish green, and the hens are usually anwhere form dark orange to a tanish color sometimes. It just depends on different factors like how old the ducks are, young newly molted hens will usually have that gorgeous dark orange bill where my old hens will have a real drabby brownish looking one.

The only 'clue' I had before the quack test was that one seems to have whiter butt feathers. It's really noticable when they walk away.
