DRAKE OR HEN ? ? ?

[mahsmaj]

Can anyone tell me if these are drakes or hens or both ? ? ?

How old are they? Not the best picture, but if I had to guess from that shot, I'd say 1 male, 2 females.

How old are they? It looks like 3 hens if they are adults. There are two ways to sex ducks; drakes have curly tail feathers, hens don't. Also, hens will quack loudly, whereas drakes almost whistle.

their about 5 months old and one of them makes a sort of sqeek sound...(so i named it squeek) and the other two make a very loud quaking noise

By your pic, I would guess 1 drake and two ducks (hens). The one closest to fence, looks to curl in tail feather.. and by the sounds you say they are making...

Well then you have answered your own question. The "Squeeker" is the drake, the other 2 are hens.
