Drake or hen?

[Space land]

I have several Pekin ducks and can tell difference between drakes and hens, however, a friend of ours was moving so gave us their ducks. They bought them from local pet store. One looks very similar to Pekins however slightly shorter and thinner. I’m sure she is a girl. The other is brown with a slight white ring around neck, and it’s head is a bit darker than body with a little bit of a green shine to it, and beak olive green. It has a Drake feather. But I have defiantly heard it “quack.” Not very often but it does every now and then. I think from google search that they are khaki Campbell. Is the difference in voices as noticeable as with pekins? They are currently in a paddock with a pekin hen. Only getting 2 eggs a day.

They are about a yr old. On closer inspection brown duck’s beak is black with definite olive green on end. Slight shiny green on neck isn’t noticeable in pics

glad you could join us!
Well those tail feathers definetly scream drake to me! I haven't had much experience with the quacking variety of ducks (I have muscovies) so hopefully someone else will jump in with their thoughts

The KC is a Drake..The bigger Pekin looks like a Drake. At that age hens quack and Drakes have a raspy voice.

The bigger pekin is a hen as it lays an egg and defiantly quacks, no drake feather. I had a Drake pekin with a raspy voice and drake feather but fox got it. I think the smaller white one is a white khaki campbell (just from google). They all defiantly quack though. No raspy voices like the drake used to have.

Can anyone else help?? I would like to hatch some eggs if a Drake but atm eggs are looking infertile

Can you post a video of it "quacking" ? That may help. How long have you had the 2 new ones? It could simply be he just hasn't settled enough to fertilise

Hopefully this video works.
