Hi everyone! I've had chickens for years and just recently bought 2 ducks...I know it's a long shot because the pictures aren't great, but does anyone have a guess on what breed these ducks are and possibly a guess on the sex? One duck is larger and is black and yellow..the other is smaller with yellow and light tan feathers coming in. I bought these 2 cuties at Tractor Supply around 1 month ago! 🦆🦆🦆🦆

The first appears to be a fawn and white Runner and the second, a black Swedish.
It isn’t possible to tell their gender by looks. But, they are about the age when they get their voices. Only girl ducks truly quack. So, if either are quacking really loudly, they are girls. Boys peep longer and then get soft, raspy sounds. You can post a video and we might be able to tell you.
 
You could separate them briefly, they should call out to each other. Or, at this age, you could probably have a go at describing what they sound like. Any obvious voice
