Hi all,
Is anyone able to tell by looking at my ducks if they are male or female?
They haven’t yet got a curly tail feather and I can’t tell by their voices as I have not had the pleasure of listening to either before and they sound the same to me.
 
The two fully feathered ones should be old enough to voice sex now :) Just looking at them can't tell us much. Here is a place where you can hear male and female ducks so you can see which they sound like:

The last one looks to be a muscovy. Those cannot be sexed by voice and are trickier to sex. Usually the males get much larger than the females pretty quickly, but you only have one and don't have others to compare it to. Perhaps @Miss Lydia can help with that one, since she keeps muscovies.

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your help. My Muscovy is indeed a boy, but I am still totally in the dark with my other two. I have listened to the recording of the boy and girl voices, but still can’t tell.
Here are some new photos if anyone can help?
The pet barn I bought them from told me they were Khaki Campbell x Muscovy.

Female for now. How old are they as my two drakes were many months old when I could sex them.
