My Rouens are about three months old now and looks like they are getting adult feathers.
I had hoped I got lucky and had 1 of each, a male and a female. As 1 runs the entire yard, has a noticeably brighter bill that is also wider... while the other has more olive tones to bill though still yellow, with a more narrow bill and narrow head.
Looking at these feathers coming in... I have 2 drakes don't I??
Usually I'm a chicken person. Not a duck person... Will I need to get 2 females having 2 boys?

TIA

It looks like they are getting their green feathers in on their face, so yes I think they are both drakes.

With two drakes you should have at least 4 or 5 females, or they will get overmated.
Was afraid of that. Thank you for helping me with this!!
 
Yes look like drakes. Do they quack or make a raspy sound? The loud quacks that you typically associate with ducks is the sound of a hen. Drake have a lower raspy voice.
