Are my ducks both males? What are their breeds?

[DandyAndMahi]

I bought these two in August when they were about a week old and now that (I think) they’ve got all their feathers, I think they might both be males! Does anyone know what sex they are? Or what breed they are?

I was thinking that the white one (Dandelion) is a Welsh Harlequin and the brown one (Mahi) is a Khaki Campbell. But I might be wrong?

What kind of voices do they have? females quack loud drakes sound like a frog with a sore throat. I don't see curled tail feather on either.

They sure look like two drakes to me. The Khaki has the dark feathers above his tail and the Welsh Harlequin looks to be getting a green head, both signs of drakes. Sorry!

That whitish one looks exactly

like my Welsh Harlequin female, I'm not sure on the other. Ducks quack loudly while drakes have a whispery-raspy-squeaky voice. There's a good video on YouTube on "Voice Sexing" your ducks. Get'em excited about treats and you'll hear them "QUACK" or "rasp-squeak"!

The Welsh Harlequin in your picture does not have a green head. I have a Welsh Harlequin hen, she does not have a green head. The OP’s bird does have one (3rd photo). He is a drake, but you are correct, voice sexing will confirm it.
Also, from both pictures it seems Welsh Harlequins can also be sexed the same way Khaki Campbell’s can, by looking at the feathers above the tail. Males have solid, dark feathers, females have lighter, two-toned feathers. Compare the OP’s third picture to your WH.

I didn't even see the 3rd picture! You're absolutely right, mines head never got that dark before putting on her lighter head feathers. I second that it's a drake, the brown one has a curled tail feather as well, so drake again.

Good eye spotting the start of the drake feather! I missed that.

Two Drakes. A KC and a Welsh.
