Call duck colors/sex

[Crow Mountain Chickens]

Brand new to ducks. Got 4 baby call ducks from @CaliFarmsAR. They are 5 weeks old now and I was wondering what these colors are called and if there are any distinguishing features to sex them aside from their quacks. The smallest/loudest is obviously a hen to me, She’s blue/brownish in color. The others aren’t very vocal but I’ve read that isn’t always An accurate way to sex.

Would love help identifying their colors and anything Else to help sex.

They turned out beautiful!!! You have a blue Bibbed, it looks like two silver Bibbed, and the brown/blue one… I have no clue, one of mine turned out that color.

Can you get a video of them quacking and stuff? They are definitely old enough to sex by voice.

The brownish blue one is a Blue Fawn.

The silvers are gorgeous. I’m jealous.

Voice is an accurate way to sex them, but some females quack sooner than others, so it can be a few weeks of guessing. Normally they start around 6 weeks, but some take 8-10 weeks to quack.
Drake feathers (curly tail feathers) come in around 12-14 weeks on the boys.

Looking closer at the blue fawn, I don’t see any eye stripes, do you have any duskys? She looks a little darker than normal, but maybe it’s just the pics or my eyes viewing on my phone. Lol

They actually aren’t from my flock, I got hatching eggs. The guy I got them from didn’t have any duskys

@CaliFarmsAR I’ll get a video of their vocals shortly!

@WVduckchick She does not have any eye stripes that I can see!

Thank you both so much for responding!

They’re awesome little things. Definitely gonna have the duck “bug” now.

You’re welcome! I was actually going to ask soon how they were doing!! I ended up with a Snowy and Blue Fawn (just like yours)!

They’re great. About to move them out of the chicken brooding pen and into their own enclosure.

Will they continue to feather out some? Do the “bibs” always end up round and full like you see in some pictures or do they stay kind of broken like they currently are?

Can’t wait to get more calls now!
