Duck sex

I need to know how to tell males from females.

do they quack? Any with a whispery rasp are drakes, any who quack are hens-
If you arent sure, could you get close up photos of each duck so we can get a close look at the feathers around their tails-how old are they?

The males will have a couple of curled feathers near the tail.

In Khaki Campbells, like yours, the boys will usually have really dark feathers above the tail like your duck who is pictured alone. Females are often lighter and always have two-toned lighter feathers above their tails. The boys bills are turning blue-green and the girls bills are getting darker pinky brown. In your picture of the two ducks. The one in front is a drake and the one behind him is a hen. Below is an old picture of two of mine.

It look to me like you have 4 girls and 2 boys.

I'm seeing two drakes and 4 hens. In your 4th photo with four ducks in the main frame, the two behind are the drakes- I believe.
You have a very beautiful flock!
