Ducks gender?

[Lil_farmer]

Hi! I'm really new to chickens and ducks. I bought a pair of ducks at rural king because they were on sale because they were bigger, I know they're at least a month old because I've had them for that long. Can anyone tell an approximate age and tell what gender/type they are? I'm pretty sure one is a Peking, I'm thinking the other is a mallard. Thanks for any help and advice! I really love all my birds so I want to take the best care of them as I possibly can.

I'm guessing a Pekin and a Rouen. Keep an ear on their voices. Ducks will continue to 'quack' whereas drakes will have a more raspy voice. Drakes will also develop a drake curl just anterior to their tail. If the Rouen is a drake, it will develop a green head and 'pretty' colors.

The dark one is most likely a Rouen I'm uncertain about the white one.

I agree with sourland. Looks like a Pekin and Rouen. Females will have that typical loud "quack quack" sound.

Not to hijack the thread, but can anyone help identify the gender of these two pekin ducks?
