Duck sexes - Help!

They are older than you think.

Honestly I think you have all males. That would have to be one REALLY late bloomer to just now be developing her voice. but the swedish with the black bill is your only hope for a female. One of your Pekins has it's drake feather already.

We bought them at the feed store when they were only 4-5 days old. The Pekin that has the drake feather has had that since he was only 5 weeks old (I know that’s supposed to be too young to have it, but he did)

Look at those little sweeties! I read back through and see where you said they are 11 weeks. So yes, older than 2 months. They'll be going into molt again really soon, and the drake feathers will show up in just a couple weeks for the rest of them.

Good news is an all drake flock can get along. Hope it works out for you!

They are molting right now. They started that two weeks ago, so hopefully the drake feather will come in soon and we will know for sure!

Does anyone know how long the molting process takes? I have read several different timelines online, but nothing consistent.
