Ducks wrong gender?!??

[Emma Mc]

I got 2 welsh harlequin ducks, and was told one was a girl and one was a boy. The female( as i thought) is alot bigger and has a raspy voice, yellow beak, yellow feet, and her head is turning green

The male( as i thought) is smaller, black beak, strong quack, and is just black and white pretty much.

Is there any way that they ARE the gender i thought?!?! They have names according to what gender i thought they were?!? HELP

Raspy voice is boy. . quacking is girl.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

They are beautiful by the way.

Raspy voice is boy. . quacking is girl.

I read that but i was hoping that there could be another way ! Oh no. My male is sooo cuddly then, and my female is more aggressive. I have thought this entire time that the "male" is a female and its name is Daisy!!!!

Lol. Happened to me too. Oh well keep their names it will make for good conversation lol. I don't believe their is any way way it could be the other way if your sure one is quack n. Boys sound like they have smokers cough but seem to keep their baby peep longer than the girls so it takes a while to tell.

Daisy is a Donald......

Oh my goodness.. My (not) female took a while to even get past a peep and then she had a smokers sounding rasp and we were always confused why it sounded that way but my (not) male had a strong loud quack. I still love them completely but im shocked ahah

Lol! So was I! Oh also. . boys will develop a curl on their tail called the drake feather. Takes a few months to get it though.
