Drakes or Hens?

[Nefelibata]

My two ducks, Slapper and Dollar, are confusing me a bit. I am fairly certain that Slapper is a hen and Dollar is a drake, but they both have green heads.
They are dark campbell ducks, and I thought only males are supposed to have green iridescence on their heads, but I may be wrong.

In the front is Dollar.
- pale bean on beak
- lighter beak
- peeps, does not quack
- a little bigger
- white splotch on throat
- green iridescence on head
- a bit meaner

In the back is Slapper.
- black bean on beak
- darker beak
- quacks
- a little smaller
- no white splotch
- green iridescence on head


Can anyone help me figure out if they're drakes or hens?

If you can post a video of them making their sound it would be helpful. If I had to guess from your picture though, I would guess two drakes.

The video is a bit old, but it shows Dollar peeping and Slapper quacking.

You are right, that is a real quack and definitely a female. I do know that with some of the darker breeds (like Cayuga) the females do get some green iridescence. You might have two girls and one is a late quacker or a pair?!

The hens can get heads darker than the rest of the body. Mature drakes tend to get darker/greener than your ducklings have now. Slapper's quack is definitely female. Dollar's voice will most likely change soon. A drake sound would be lower raspier . I am unable to tell what gender Dollar is yet.

One female and the other not to sure on.
