Duck genders?

[Gcsadie]

For all 3 ducks I see no green feathers yet... but if the voices are raspy then it's a male and just haven't grown male feathers yet

I would keep a close eye on their feathers and voices and repost pics in a few weeks

Thank you

Mine are, I think, 8 weeks and my male has a raspy voice. It is so sad trying to see him quack with girls, but just a little peep comes out. He tries so hard! I would say you have 2 females and 1 male. I was going to get that number of ducks and the same gender as you. Then I just added one more for extra luck....although I don't know how ducks can give you luck with all the mess of theirs!!!

Oh god yes...super messy but their cuteness makes up for it. I noticed they like to charge at me and my kids sometimes. I don’t know what that means. They like come at you at stretch their necks out and run their heads up your arms (it’s when we are sitting at their level) I don’t know how to really explain it. Scares the children but I always tell them the ducks are probably just curious about them haha, doesn’t phase me though. My male also likes to pick on the girls. He will nibble the back of their heads or “pinch” them and it startles them. I feel bad for them! I just holler at him to stop being a jerk

Same!!!! My little drake will come up and nibble at my fingers and clothing(although I am trying to train him to stop nibbling my fingers). He is always picking on the girls too! He loves to the boss.

I don’t mind that mine nibble. They like to get my toes and anything they can get a hold of.

I don't mind. I just know that I need to show them that I am mama bird. I just love it when they nibble. Even tho that is not the only way they can show me love.

#1 looks just like my drake and he is 8weeks with a distinct bullfrog/raspy sound.
#2 looks female to me and my female quacks (rarely but definitely quacks) especially when I pick her up.
#3 looks more male in the beak shape and darker band of feathering BUT if he/she sounds like the other that is what I would go by. If they both give a good quack, they are likely female.
That was my first sign with mine, their voices.
