Hello all, first time posting as well as first time duck mom. I have a 4 ducks. 2 anacona and 2 Indian runner (supposed to be, think I may have 1 wrong breed) 1 Indiana runner was supposed to be sex female and one sex male. I am worried that I have all make ducks minus the one. I have tried to voice sex without luck. They are 10 weeks old

Where did you get your ducks? @Nojo6789 Looks to be a Runner and maybe a Welch Harlequin and Ancona's?

Ordered offline on Estes Hatchery. Awful experience.....The one that you are referencing is very mean. It bites and hisses, where as the others are very friendly. Not sure if that is the trait, but very unfriendly.

I am not sure if it's a WH or maybe a silver Appleyard look up both breeds as ducklings and see which one is close.
I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with the hatchery. This year seems to be a not so good year. You only ordered 2 Runners drake and female and they sent you 4 ducklings?

At 10 weeks their voices should give them away Females quack loud drakes are raspy and don't quack.

Well I ordered 6 they sent 10, but all where dead minus the one odd ball. That was supposed to be the female. They shipped 10 the next week and all arrived alive. I gave a few away to other families as these are pets and I couldn't handle 10. The brown and white Indian runner was a sex male but he is the loudest of the group. I will try and voice sex again....maybe have another set of ears with me to listen. Thanks for your help!

Any chance you're able to get a video of them using their voices and then upload to YouTube and link here (gosh! That really sounds like a lot and I apologize)? @Miss Lydia and @Isaac 0 and @WVduckchick and @DuckyDonna are few of the incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful "all things duck" related (I see the wonderful and amazing @Miss Lydia has replied and she's truly such a wonderful person and has lots of knowledge and experience

I see Two Ancona's, One Fawn and White Runner, and I will say the last guy is a Male Silver Appleyard, I say Appleyard instead of Welsh Harlequin because they are a much heavier breed and your's looks pretty beefy, you can also see the green coming on the face which would likely point towards male, also note the green bill, something females don't have. At this age, they can be voice sexed, the link @Miss Lydia provided shows how to do that correctly, but if you want, you could post a video and we can sex for you.

Did I mention they are gorgeous?
