we have a couple of ducks and don't know what duck is a male or female. we know one is a female and have at least 2 males. they are mallard ducks. none of them have the dark green heads but one does have a little green.
 
How old are they? My mallards took ages to get the green feathers.. it might help if i could see a picture :)
 
4 of them are 4-5 months. 1 is a few weeks. 3 are 1-2 years. ill get pics as soon as I can.
 
hello I have mallards and the way I tell them apart visualy is by looking at the bill if the bill is olive green with some to no black spots its male , if its orange with some black around the nose. it is a female. another way is vent sexing they have some videos on youtube by mertzer farms on how to sex ducklings and geese its the same for when they are older.
 
my female mallard
Male mallard in eclipse molt
Mallard male in normal feathers for mating season and winter.
females do not molt different feathers.

hope this helps you
