I think I have 2 Rouen ducks, a Khaki Campbell, and a mallard. I got them at tractor supply on September 7th.

Hi BarbGoose,

Congratulations with your beautiful ducks.
What sound do they make? Ducks sound very loud and drakes have a hoarse sound.
 
They are still making more of a peeping sound
Than I'm afraid you have to be a little more patient... In general girls tend to get their adult voice earlier than boys. When the girls are already quacking the boys still peep. However not 100% of the time. When girls start quacking, it sounds very funny because they peep and once in a while there is a loud squeaky/quackalike sound..
 
I disagree. They look and sound like drakes to me although the mallards coloring might make her a girl. All ducks start out looking like females but there are subtle differences. Drakes get green or blue bills. The feathers above their tails are usually really dark and solid in color. Their feet are more orange. Yours also sound like boys -hoarse peeping. I hope for your sake I am wrong.
