Duck gender/breed identification needed!

How should I quarantine them when I get them? I have a "duck coop" that is really spacious and can be locked up, but its inside the run the other animals use. As far as chickens go, I've heard about big quarantine situations that take weeks on end. Are ducks the same?
Also, I feed my birds an adult mixed flock food. Could the 7 week old ducks eat this?

Yes all can it the flock feed. If they haven’t been kept in horrid conditions I really don’t think quarantine is necessary.except to introduce your adults to the new ones take it slow there till they all get use to each other.

As far as I've seen in the pictures and videos, they free range in their backyard. I have a large dog kennel and also some makeshift fencing, could that help work for letting the adults see them, but not touch?

I always quarantine my new animals. I normally only do it for a couple of days just to make sure that they are 100%.

 

[Lil Drake40]

Perfect. Look forward to seeing them in there new home

If your positive they are healthy then yes that would work for the ducks. I actually use a dog kennel when introducing mine to each other lol.

Congratulations on the new additions to your family!!! Hope all goes well

If some turned out to be drakes, but were young and growing, would it pose an issue before they're mature?

 

[Quackers3211]

Honestly it never has for me.

It may be different with your ducks just depending on their personalities but my drake is with two other little drake right now.
