duck genders?

[lweyatt78]

hi! I need help determining the sex of these two ducklings. I have 3 and they are about a month old. I know the white pekin is a female for sure i can tell just by listening to her loud quacks. but im unsure about these other two, they haven't quacked at all.

Are they making low, raspy sounds? If so, they may both be drakes.

A little hard to tell from the pic's, but the blacker one looks like he has curls on his tail. That's a sign of a drake. Not gonna venture a guess on the other one, no expert on non-muscovy ducks...
Since they're a different breed than the pekin, could be they're just naturally quieter.

Yeah they do, they make raspy low noises. they kind of sound like quacks.

that one has some green coming in on his head so he is most likely a drake. I think the other one is a hen but i haven't heard her quack so she could just be naturally quieter or they could be both drakes. hmm

She *does* look like a hen, with the brown coat. Crossing fingers that's the case. 2 ladies and 1 man is a good little flock!

i hope so! shes a khaki campbell i think and has all the feathers on her head and her head is kinda dark. if they're both drakes its no big deal i hope, i plan on getting more females to add to the flock soon. ive read that drakes can get agressive over few females and adding more females helps.
