I recently got two magpies and a khaki Campbell. I have one black magpie that is literally huugee, she also has a very loud quack so I know she’s female. I also have a gray magpie who didn’t have all his feathers until really late, is really small and has a very quiet quack/rasp but I have seen my male mount him multiple times on multiple occasions, does that mean he could be female? And my khaki Campbell or originally had female coloring suddenly switched colorings during her first molt and now has a dark green head and darker coloration on her body, she still has that female pattern on some of her feathers but she also has a rasp. My mom is convinced she’s female, me? Not so much! The picture I have is what they looked like a month or so ago. I got them because my male only has one female and I’m pretty sure we got two males again!! I’m super disappointed but also hoping I may be wrong!

By 8 weeks old, they should have their adult voices and should be easy to sex. Sometimes it takes even longer.

I'm going to attach a video that may be helpful. In it, the owner shows with live ducks the difference between baby duck voices, female duck voices, and male duck voices. He has Khaki Campbells. There are many other videos on the subject that can be found with a search on Youtube.
