Gender guesses

I'm thinking all are Drakes. They are getting green heads.

It says I do not have permission to view the deleted video. I have found it easiest to download videos to YouTube and then here. What do you think the three are?

Once last attempt. Welcome to my first ever YouTube video...of ducks quacking. Please listen and let me know your vote!

I’m now guessing 3 ducks, based on the fact they can all quack like that. Also, they don’t look like the drakes at Metzner’s farms.

Success! That's the quack of a hen.

Here’s the picture from Metzner’s:

My 3 look like the duck here, not the drake. Do you think their feathers will change to be more like that of the drake at this point? 6.5 weeks today.

Mallards and mallard derived breeds have two color phases: eclipse - when they are less showy and appear female, and nuptial when they have their 'showy' male plumage. Young birds start out looking 'female' and then drakes will develop their male plumage in the fall. It's early now for your birds (6.5 weeks old) to appear male, but they should have the raspy drake voice by now.

Definitely Hens....

Yay, I am happy to be wrong! Enjoy your girls!
