Hey all! I adopted four ducklings ; Sonic, Mousey, Fatty Paddy and Little Bo peep and they’ve gotten so big over the past month. I’m really eager to know their gender as I’m still calling them they and himshe’s 😂 can anyone tell me what to look for at age 5-6 weeks? They just about have all feathers and everyone is brown with orange legs. One quacks pretty deep the rest still meep meep.
I’ve attached what I could to thread

Females should have a noticeable voice change by now, making peep-honks and an occasional loud quack!
Males should have little to no voice change and still be making their baby peep.

If you can upload a video of their voices to YouTube and link it here, I can tell you genders for sure.

Ok give me a few to figure out how to do so 😊

I’m only hearing male sounds in this video.. which one is making the deep quack?
I’m not 100% sure as they don’t do it often. Just when they’re walking around I hear a deep quack. I know it’s only one out the bunch that does it. I’ll investigate more when they wake up from Nappies

@KathiQuacks found her!
Now I’m going to have to rehome 2 ducks 😞 the ratio is 3:1
Oh, yeah, that’s a girl for sure. I know, it’s unfortunate having to rehome..
If you have the space for it, you could also potentially keep 2 drakes in their own flock and your 1 hen, 1 drake in another flock. You’d still have to watch for aggression, though.
