Drakes or Hens?

[Gibbie]

This is my first time to have any ducks and I need help with whether they are drakes or hens. Although I had hopes I was likely enough to have all hen, I believe I might have 2 drakes and 1 hen. Please help!

The one with the darker head is a drake. He has a curling tail feather, which is called a drake feather! You can also voice sex them… the females have that classic duck quack and the drakes are more raspy and quiet, hope that helps!

Your drakes maybe old enough to get a curly feather on the top of the tail. Sorry my eyes can't see it in the pics.
Voice sexing is an accurate way to sex even before drake feathers form. Girls are louder and more classic in a quack sound. Boys are raspy and quieter.

The white duck UNO is very loud as is the light headed blue/gray duck. The dark headed duck has a very soft squeaky sounding quack. I was going to post a live video but it wouldn’t load for some reason.

Then, it sounds like you have one drake and two hens. To post a video you must post it to an outside source like YouTube and then just add the link using the icon above that looks like a two link chain.

How old are your ducks?
What breed are your ducks?
When they are adults most drakes don’t quack.

I don’t know what you last post meant.
